Directions
Crisp, Flaky Baklava, There are many, many variations of baklava recipes out there Most of them call for some variation of a sugar water syrup This recipe is a bit different because it only uses pure honey over the top of the baklava This makes for a much crispier, flakier baklava that the baklava that is readily available This is the recipe that my Greek Grandma has used for decades, and now I am in charge of baking it every year for Easter dinner It’s an all-day affair in my house when I bake this, but it is worth it I have had many people tell me that this is the best baklava they have ever tasted Be sure and use high-quality honey The better the honey, the better the baklava Keep the stack of phyllo sheets covered with a damp towel while you are working, to keep them from drying out and getting brittle , I can’t believe no one has reviewed this This is the same recipe that I have always used and it comes out so much better than any other baklava that I have had Crispy and delicious!
