Best baklava is pistachio....
chopper said:Oh man! Now I'm hungry for baklava! I've never made it. Is it hard to make?
Siegal said:It's actually super easy and only 5 ingredients (filo, sugar, butter, lemon, pistachio) I don't like the ones with 3 types of nuts and spices. I just make plain pistachio ones and they are much better then the ones with walnuts and spices as pistachios are superior and don't need spices to help it. The recipe I use is Syrian from aromas of Aleppo. Let me know if you want it
No honey? I thought the Greek recipe used honey, Syrian might be different. Please post your recipe, Siegal!

Dawgluver said:Great. Now I'm so jonesin' for some baklava!
Andy M. said:Me too. I'll have to get SO to make another batch. I have no patience for handling the delicate sheets of filo and brushing each layer with butter. However, I am responsible for making the simple syrup and cutting the uncooked paklava (the Armenian version of the word) in the proper pattern. Everyone knows those are the most important parts of the recipe.
