Method
Prep 25 min · cook 45 min- Crush the walnuts coarsely and mix them with a little sugar and cinnamon.
- Brush the baking tin with melted butter.
- Lay down 5 sheets of filo, brushing each one with butter.
- Spread over some of the walnuts and carry on in layers.
- Finish with 5 sheets on top, brushed generously with butter.
- Cut into diamonds BEFORE baking — afterwards the filo shatters.
- Bake at 180 °C for 40–45 minutes, until deep golden.
- Boil a syrup from the sugar, 400 ml of water and the lemon juice.
- Pour the COLD syrup over the HOT baklava — that way it stays crisp.
- Leave for a few hours to soak up the syrup.
