Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place all the syrup ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- 2
In a blender, pulse the walnuts with the breadcrumbs, cloves, and cinnamon in small batches until finely chopped, but not powdered.
- 3
Generously butter a rectangular baking pan. Lay the first sheet of phyllo over half the pan, letting the rest hang over the edge, and brush with melted butter. Add another sheet to cover the empty half of the pan and brush with butter. Place the next sheet vertically and brush with butter.

Add 2 tablespoons of the filling over the phyllo sheets and continue with the next sheet. Brush with butter and add more filling, repeating the process until all the filling is used.
- 5
Reserve 3 sheets of phyllo for the top.
- 6
Fold all the overhanging phyllo sheets into the pan, press down well, and brush with butter.
- 7
Place two of the reserved sheets on top, brushing each with butter.
- 8
Add the final sheet of phyllo on top. Use a brush to press the edges of the sheet around the pan to seal the baklava.
- 9
Lightly score the top layers of the baklava with a knife and pour any remaining butter over the top.
- 10
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) with the fan on and bake for 2 hours.

Greek Baklava Greek Baklava
My Greek Yiayia (meaning Grandmother in Greek) raised me after my mom died when I was 6 years old. She is from the Peloponnese part of Greece and she always made Baklava and other Greek foods as well. We lived in ALABAMA so she used the pecans from her pecan tree. This was a task because she gathered, cracked and cleaned all of the pecans herself and then milled them with an old fashioned hand turned grinder that she clamped to the side of the kitchen table. She made everything from scratch and I am truly blessed to be raised by her !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #baklava #greek

Baklava with Lemon Syrup Baklava with Lemon Syrup
I'm not really a syrup kind of pastry fan, I am more of a white chocolate with strawberry fan. :) But because I do love to cook and bake I decided to make this Greek Syrup Pastry. Greeks tend to eat syrup based pastries, one of the favorites is Baklava. The Almonds and Walnuts added to this pastry, along with the lemon syrup just gives a really delicious taste.I do enjoy eating a piece of Baklava once in a while....:)

Greek Custard Pie (Bougatsa) Greek Custard Pie (Bougatsa)
I’ve been working on my baking skills this week, mainly because the holidays are coming up. I haven’t made any Christmas Cookies or Cakes these past few years, so as I’m sitting here thinking what should I add to my Christmas baking list. 🙂I have wanted to make this pastry for a while and I found Semolina at the supermarket so I gave it try yesterday and it turned out so creamy and delicious. This Custard pie a popular breakfast pastry in Greece as the bagel is in the US…:) This pie’s origin is from Northern Greece a city called Serres, and become very popular in Thessaloniki and then expanded to the rest of Greece. It is eaten warm with sugar powder and cinnamon sprinkled all over. Yummmyyyy!!! I forgot to mention that there is also another version of this pastry with a cheese filling.. I have tried it but it reminds me of eating a Cheese puff (Tyropita) rather than the sweet taste of custard…:)You can find shops/bakeries all around Greece that are open from very early in the morning for the morning rush hour, but there are shops that are open 24/7 for those who have been out late night and just wanted to eat something other than Souvlaki :). Just a few ingredients are needed for this delicious sweet pastry. Hope you enjoy 🙂 -
