I just ate the best baklava.
Heh, not exactly the same thing.arildno said:I know what a balaclava is, but wouldn't want to eat it.
Risking the ire of Wikipedia-haters, and preparing myself to get zapped, here's a link to that:

Oooh, yum! My mouth is watering...rachmaninoff said:Mmm, I just finished one! (Again!) Nutty, with paper-thin pastry and a glaze of fresh honey...
The main ingredients in this baklava are phyllo dough, nuts (usually walnuts or pistachios), sugar, butter, and syrup (typically a combination of water, sugar, and honey).
This baklava may differ from others in terms of the specific proportions of ingredients used, as well as any additional flavors or spices that may be added. It may also differ in the cooking method and presentation.
The "best" baklava is subjective and can vary depending on personal tastes. However, some possible criteria for this baklava being considered the best may include a perfect balance of sweetness and crunchiness, a rich and buttery flavor, and a visually appealing presentation.
Yes, it is possible to make this baklava with alternative ingredients to accommodate dietary restrictions. For example, gluten-free phyllo dough can be used for those who are gluten intolerant, and a sugar substitute can be used for those who need to limit their sugar intake.
This baklava should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for longer shelf life, but it may become slightly soggy due to the moisture. To re-crisp the baklava, it can be briefly reheated in the oven at a low temperature.
