Perfect Baklava tartlets
Baklava is one of the most famous desserts around the world. Usually, it’s made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and and held together with honey infused syrup. Even though it originates from Constantinople and no one really knows if it’s a Greek or a Turkish dessert, both countries are giving it justice with some phenomenal variations.
My variation comes in the form of Baklava tartlets. It’s unbelievably easy to prepare and bake and each tartlet is an individual portion so no need for cutting the dessert which makes it ideal for parties. A lot of people use pistachios for Baklava but I know that traditionally -where I come from at least- it’s mostly walnuts that are used and some almonds. You can use any nuts you like or have in hand really.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pre heat the oven at 180ºC. Prepare the syrup by adding all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bringing it to the boil. Once it reaches boiling point, boil for exactly 3 more minutes and remove from the heat. Let it cool.
- 2
In a food processor, add the nuts, sugar, cinnamon powder and clove powder and blitz to chop the nuts some finely and some not so much. In a separate bowl, keep 3 tbsp behind for decoration.
- 3
Cut every filo sheet (apart from two) in squares. Each filo sheet will produce 6 squares. From the two filo sheets you left behind cut 24 circles using a round cutter or even a class.
- 4
Brush the squares with butter and place two in each muffin space. Add two tbsp of nuts in each tartlet.
- 5
Place the filo circles on top of the nuts and add one more tbsp of nuts. Repeat by placing the remaining of the filo circles, closing each tartlet.
- 6
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden. Once they are out of the oven, drizzle some of the syrup in each muffin case and let them cool. Sprinkle the remaining of nuts on top for decoration.

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....:)
