Baklava is a super tasty dessert, and it's the most
famous one in Turkey. Imagine this: Thin layers of flaky phyllo pastry
is stuffed with crushed nuts like pistachios or walnuts, and baked
together until it's golden and crispy. Then the baked baklava is soaked
in a sweet syrup that is made of water, sugar and lemon juice.
Sounds yummy, right?
Even though baklava is a big deal in Turkey, it's also known in a bunch
of other places too. And they all make it a little bit differently. Some
places might use different kinds of nuts in the filling, or add cinnamon
or cloves. Some add honey or orange zest in the syrup. So every place
has its own special way to make baklava even more delicious.
