Cooking

🌱Finely chop the nuts and melt the butter over low heat. Lay out a sheet of phyllo and brush with melted butter.

🌱Place a line of chopped nuts along one edge. Roll up tightly into a cylinder shape, pinching the dough over the nuts towards the center as you roll. Remove cylinder from roll and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

🌱Brush the top with more butter and bake at 190°C for 30-40 minutes.

🌱For the syrup, combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until the sugar fully dissolves.

🌱Once the baklava is golden brown, remove from oven. Pour the warm syrup evenly over the top and allow to soak in for 2 hours before serving.
