Cómo preparar Walnut Baklava
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- In a medium bowl, gently mix together 2 cups of finely chopped walnuts, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Lightly grease a baking pan (approximately 9x13 inches) with melted butter.
- Lay down 4 sheets of phyllo pastry in the prepared pan, brushing each sheet generously with melted butter before adding the next. Top with one unbuttered sheet of phyllo.
- Sprinkle approximately 1/4 of the walnut mixture evenly over the phyllo.
- Layer with one buttered sheet, one unbuttered sheet of phyllo, and another 1/4 of the walnut mixture. Repeat this layering process until all the phyllo and nut mixture is used, reserving 5 sheets of phyllo for the top.
- Layer the remaining 5 phyllo sheets on top, brushing each generously with melted butter. Pour any remaining melted butter over the top layer.
- Trim the edges of the baklava, and using a sharp knife, cut into the traditional diamond pattern. Do not cut all the way through the bottom layer.
- Lightly sprinkle the top of the baklava with water using your fingers.
- Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the baklava is golden brown and crispy. Check for doneness after 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- While the baklava cools, prepare the syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
- Add 1/2 cup honey, 1 cinnamon stick, and 2 whole cloves. Continue to boil for 5 minutes more.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool slightly.
- Once the baklava is completely cool, carefully pour the warm syrup evenly over the top. Do not pour over hot baklava.
- Let the baklava sit, allowing the syrup to fully absorb for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Carefully cut through the bottom layer of phyllo, following the previously made diamond pattern.
