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 !
