Baklava with Walnuts and Honey
Delicious, crispy, and wholesome baklava from Crete, made with the best the island has to offer: top-quality extra virgin olive oil and pure honey. Baklava is a traditional Greek dessert that's easy to make and loved by many. We use walnuts, which are plentiful in Greece, layers of phyllo dough brushed with olive oil or butter, and a syrup flavored with cinnamon—or sometimes we use honey instead of syrup. This sweet treat is a staple in Greek homes for every celebration.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, mix the walnuts with the sugar, cinnamon, and ground cloves.
- 2
In a baking pan, lay down 2 sheets of phyllo dough as the base and sprinkle with the walnut mixture. Add another sheet, sprinkle again with the walnut mixture, then another sheet, and so on. Cover with 2 more sheets and cut the baklava into pieces. Place a whole clove in each piece.
- 3
Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling. Pour the oil evenly over the baklava so it covers everything (this makes it crispy).
- 4
Place the pan in a preheated oven with convection and bake for about 45 minutes at 340°F (170°C).
- 5
Once baked, pour the hot honey over the baklava and let it soak for about 1 hour.

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 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
