Baklava
I was waiting for ages to do this, and I finally got the opportunity to make this with Tabitha, a friend of mine for our women's life group. It was dessert night and we thought of mini cup cakes, caramel slice or baklava. Baklava is relatively easy so we decided to make this and ate dinner with our hubbies while it baked. Baklava reminds me of Dori, my roomie in college and best friend and bridesmaid - she definitely makes the best baklava, so either when she visits me or I visit her, I will need to reblog about her baklava :) But for now here is Tabitha's and Beula's Baklava which was pretty good - our husbands are witnesses :)

Get your greased baking pan and unroll the phyllo/filo dough. If its frozen, defrost it well because you don't want it to break on you since its delicate. If you tear, don't shed a tear though because with all the layering, no one will notice the tear :) Alright time to start layering - so begin by placing 2 sheets and butter well. Repeat this until you have 8 sheets layered. Sprinkle the nut mixture, top with 2 sheets of dough, butter again, and add the nuts. Continue to do this: Nuts, 2 dou...

Bake in a preheated oven at 350F (175C) until golden brown. Once done, immediately pour the sauce over it and slice the baklava into squares or diamonds. You can also choose to cut this before you stick it in the oven
