We can't insure your baklava against disappearing too quickly, but we can recommend making an extra batch! ๐
Celebrate National Nut Day with this sweet, nutty treat. ๐ฅโจ
Preparation:
โซ๏ธ Heat oven to 350ยฐF and butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
โซ๏ธ Mix the pistachios, almonds, and salt. Stir the tahini with 2 tablespoons of melted butter until smooth.
โซ๏ธ Layer about one-third of the phyllo sheets in the dish, brushing each lightly with butter. Sprinkle with half of the nut mixture and drizzle with half of the tahini.
โซ๏ธ Repeat with another third of the phyllo, the remaining nuts, and the remaining tahini. Finish with the remaining phyllo, brushing each sheet with butter.
โซ๏ธ Cut into squares or diamonds and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until crisp and deeply golden.
โซ๏ธ While it bakes, simmer the honey, sugar, water, and lemon juice for about 8 minutes. Let the syrup cool.
โซ๏ธ Pour the cooled syrup slowly over the hot baklava. Let it rest uncovered for at least 2 hours.
โซ๏ธ Finish with chopped pistachios and serve at room temperature.
