How to make it

Open in kitchen mode
  1. Put the egg, the yoghurt, the sunflower oil, the vinegar, the flour and the cocoa in a deep bowl.
  2. Knead them well until you have a soft dough.
  3. Wrap it in foil and let it rest for half an hour.
  4. Tear 15 balls from the dough.
  5. Sift 1 water glass of cornflour together with 1 water glass of cocoa.
  6. Roll the balls out larger than the tray.
  7. Grease the tray; melt the butter and the margarine.
  8. Set three of the sheets aside and cut each of the others into four pieces.
  9. Lay two layers in the tray and drizzle fat over them.
  10. Scatter some of the chocolate and walnut filling after every four layers.
  11. Carry on drizzling fat every two layers and adding filling every four, until only the uncut sheets are left.
  12. Lay the whole sheets on top and drizzle the remaining fat over them.
  13. Turning the tray as you go, cut it into whatever shape you like.
  14. Put it into a hot preheated oven, then turn the oven down to 150 degrees.
  15. Bake until the top is golden.
  16. Meanwhile, boil the water and the sugar to make the syrup; add the lemon juice once it is off the heat.
  17. Drizzle the hot syrup over the baklava while it is still hot from the oven.
  18. Serve once it has drunk up the syrup.
