Baklava

 Here's a classic Baklava recipe:

Ingredients:

For the phyllo dough:

- 1 package of phyllo dough (usually found in the freezer section of most supermarkets)

For the nut mixture:

• - 1 cup chopped walnuts
• - 1 cup chopped pistachios
• - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• - 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

For the honey syrup:

• - 1 cup honey
• - 1 cup granulated sugar
• - 1 cup water
• - 1 tablespoon rose water (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. Thaw the phyllo dough according to package instructions.

3. In a bowl, mix together the nut mixture ingredients.

4. Layer the phyllo dough in a large baking dish, brushing each layer with melted butter.

5. After every 5 layers, sprinkle some of the nut mixture.

6. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of phyllo dough.

7. Cut into diamond shapes and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown.

8. While the Baklava is baking, prepare the honey syrup by boiling the ingredients in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.

9. Remove the Baklava from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.

10. Drizzle the honey syrup over the Baklava and let it cool completely before serving.

Tips:

•  Use high-quality phyllo dough for the best results.
• Don't overmix the nut mixture, as it can become oily.
• Let the Baklava cool completely before serving, as it will help the flavors to meld together.
