Perfect baklava with pistachios and a buttery aroma.

A few more tips:

Let the baklava sit for a whole day to absorb the syrup before cutting it. You can also make baklava with walnuts, almonds, or both—just use oil instead of butter in the same amount.

Steps

1

In a bowl, mix the ingredients for the baklava. Butter a baking pan about the same size as your phyllo sheets.
2

Layer 4 sheets of phyllo on the bottom and sprinkle a handful of the pistachio mixture over them.
3

Continue layering in the same way, finishing with 4 sheets of phyllo on top.
4

Cut the baklava with a sharp knife into diamond or square pieces and stick one whole clove into each piece.
5

Melt the butter very well in a small saucepan and spoon it evenly over the baklava pieces.
6

Sprinkle a little cold water over the top.
7

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, until golden brown.
8

Meanwhile, prepare the syrup by placing all the syrup ingredients in a saucepan. When it starts to boil, simmer for 5 minutes.
9

Keep the syrup warm, and when the baklava comes out of the oven, pour the hot syrup over it immediately.
