An easy, clear recipe for homemade baklava with cashews that you will definitely enjoy!

Ingredients:

One package of phyllo (filo) pastry sheets

Ghee or butter (melted)

For the filling:

Oven-roasted cashews, finely chopped

Sugar – quantity to taste

Orange blossom water

Rose water to taste (optional)

Method:

Melt the ghee or butter and lay out the phyllo sheets one by one.

Brush the first phyllo sheet with ghee using a pastry brush, then place the second and third sheets on top, brushing each with ghee.

Add a portion of the cashew filling and roll it up like a log. Use a wooden skewer or cutter to shape each piece of baklava to the desired size.

Grease a baking pan with ghee and arrange the baklava pieces, brushing the tops thoroughly with ghee.

Place the baklava tray in a preheated oven on the middle rack and bake with the bottom heat turned on first.

When the baklava pieces begin to brown, turn on the top heat for a few minutes to finish, then remove from the oven and pour the syrup over them.

Brush the syrup over the baklava lightly so the pieces don’t stick together.

Allow to cool, then serve this delicious homemade sweet.

Syrup (Ater or Shira):

1/2 cup water

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon orange blossom water or rose water, to taste

Combine the ingredients and simmer on the stove for about 5 minutes or slightly longer, then set aside.
