Baklava
Whenever I pick a Greek theme, I cross my fingers that the weather reflects my choices!
This is a very simple baklava. Greeks would probably gasp in horror that I am not using Greek honey, but I think this is a really lovely, simple take on a national classic.
Ingredients
½ a pack of filo pastry
6 tbsp finely chopped, mixed nuts
6 tbsp Golden Syrup (use the bottled
Golden Syrup, not the tin, it’s easier)
170g melted butter
These measurements are approxmate, as it depends on the shape of your tin.
Preparation
Preheat the oven to Gas mark 4/180C.
To start, oil a small, high-sided oven tin, then cut the filo to the size of the base. Finely chop the nuts and melt the butter in the microwave.
Layer the Baklava in the tin by putting three sheets of filo in the base, painting each with the melted butter. Sprinkle a layer of the nuts and generously drizzle the Golden Syrup on top. Cover with a single sheet of filo and repeat until you run out of nuts.
Finally, put three sheets of filo on the top, paint it with butter, then cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
Allow to cool and cut into nice, little pieces. Whatever shape you choose, they’re perfect for popping in a Tupperware pot for a tasty and energy-filled packed lunch.
