Baklava is a delicious, flaky pastry made with layers of buttery phyllo dough and a rich, spiced nut filling. The nuts—almonds, walnuts, or pistachios—are combined with cinnamon, cloves, and sugar, then layered between thin sheets of phyllo dough. Once baked, the baklava is drenched in a sweet syrup made from honey, sugar, and lemon juice, giving it a sticky, sweet finish. Garnished with finely ground pistachios, this dessert is a perfect balance of crunchy, sweet, and aromatic flavors.
