How to make it

Open in kitchen mode
  1. Knead a baklava dough with the sifted flour, the egg, the salt, the fat and enough water.
  2. Roll the sheets out and stack them to one side, sprinkling cornflour between them.
  3. Grease the tray and lay a sheet over it; trim the parts hanging over the edges to fit the tray.
  4. Sprinkle fat over the first sheet, or rub it on by hand.
  5. Lay half the sheets on top of one another this way, greasing each one and trimming the excess edges every time.
  6. Spread 2 water glasses of walnuts evenly over the sheets once you are halfway.
  7. Finish with the remaining sheets, greasing them as well; tuck the trimmed-off edge pieces between the sheets.
  8. Heat the remaining fat, pour it over from the top and leave it for 15 minutes.
    15 min
  9. Cut it into diamonds or squares with a sharp, pointed knife.
  10. Do not drag the knife towards you as you cut; press down, keeping the fingers of your left hand close to the piece being cut.
  11. Drizzle fat over the top and bake in a moderate oven until the surface is golden.
  12. While the baklava is in the oven, boil 5 water glasses of sugar with 3 water glasses of water and skim off the foam.
  13. Add the lemon juice, bring it back to the boil and leave it to cool.
  14. Pour the syrup over the baklava, lukewarm, as it comes out of the oven.
  15. Cover it with a larger tray and keep it covered until it has drunk up the syrup.
