The first sweet recipe on our website will be obviously the Baklawa with two varieties ! Greek-style Baklawa, which is common in the west, uses honey in the syrup. More typical Egyptian Baklawa does not. Recipes for syrup variations are included here. A tip to make it good Never pour hot syrup over hot baklawa; it will make it soggy ! Syrup must either be cool and poured over hot baklawa or hot and poured over cooled baklawa. Enjoy !
Ingredients :
- 2 cups walnuts, finely chopped
- 1 cup almonds, finely chopped (optional – this is found in Greek baklawa)

- 2 cups clarified, melted butter
- 2 Ts. cinnamon
- 1 Tb. Orange blossom water (mazahar)
