Baklava is usually layers and layers of filo dough but this is the ultimate hack. All you do is add some butter with cinnamon sugar, your nuts, and then roll it on up. And then slice it, add some egg wash, and then place it in your muffin tin. And then bake it in the oven and drizzle it with a little bit of honey. And listen to how crispy and crunchy this is.
780K views · 5.7K reactions | In Lebanese culture, it is customary to distribute baklava, particularly during the holiday season. If you happen to be visiting your homeland, consider bringing back an entire suitcase filled with this delectable treat to share with your loved ones in the States. Not only does it come in a traditional tin box, serving as a charming souvenir, but it is also crafted using the finest ingredients, including silky ghee and a variety of nuts. Baklava stands unrivaled among all desserts, making it one of the most beloved and sought-after Middle Eastern delicacies. Personally, I have yet to encounter a baklava that surpasses the Lebanese version. Allow me to share the recipe with you.Filling recipe 2 c walnuts1 c cashews 1/2 c pistachios 2 tbsp ghee1/4 c sugar 1 tsp cinnamon To prepare the baklava filling, begin by placing all the ingredients in a food processor. However, it is important not to over-process the nuts, as this can result in a cakey texture. Leaving the nuts slightly larger will provide the baklava filling with a distinct and appealing definition.1 c melted ghee1 lb filo dough With this technique for preparing baklava, you will find it incredibly easy to make at home. Start by cutting the Filo dough in half to fit your tray. Traditionally, my mother would use a full cookie sheet pan. If you choose to use the full tray, there is no need to cut the dough. Divide the Filo into two portions and begin by spreading 1/4 cup of ghee at the bottom of the tray. Then, layer the naughty filling and cover it with the remaining half of the Filo dough. Finally, generously smother the top with the remaining ghee. Bake at 300° for approximately one and a half hours.simple syrup 2 c sugar 1 c water 1 tbsp lemon simmer till everything is completely combined, then squeeze in lemon. Set aside to cool. Immediately after baklava is finished baking drizzle the simple syrup all over the baklava and allow it to rest. For best results allow the simple syrup to mend everything together. I did enjoy eating it hot.#Baklava #LebaneseFood #MiddleEasternFood #PalestinianFood #TurkishFood #Dessert #Holidays #HolidayDesserts #Food #Chef #LebaneseChef | Summers Homemade Meals
129K views · 7.2K reactions | Back by popular request, my family’s favorite coffee cake! Some people call this a Sock It To Me Cake (correct me if I'm wrong.) There’s no actual coffee in the cake. It’s just in the name. I make this every Thanksgiving morning and whenever we have people over for brunch. I have to admit, it's pretty amazing. It's not nutritious in the least, but not everything has to be! The recipe is from an old out-of-print cookbook called “Breakfast” and I still can't find a coffee cake recipe my family likes better! Here you go: Makes 1 10-inch Cake Pecan Streusel: 1 1/2 c chopped pecans 3/4 c packed brown sugar 1 T ground cinnamon Cake: 3 c all-purpose flour 1 TBS baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 c (2 sticks) butter, softened 1 1/2 c sugar 1 1/2 c sour cream 3 large eggs, at room temperature 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest (optional) Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. To prepare the filling, combine the pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl and stir to mix well. Reserve. To prepare the cake, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, cream the butter, sugar and sour cream until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and lemon zest, if using. Add the reserved dry ingredients and beat until just smooth. Pour about half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved filling evenly down the center of the batter, preventing the filling from touching the sides of the pan. Cover with the remaining batter. Bake until a wooden skewer tests clean when inserted in the thickest part, 45 to 55 minutes. (50 min is perfect in my oven.) Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out. Dust with powdered sugar when fully cooled. #coffeecake #cakerecipe #bundtcake #streusel #desserttime #brunchrecipes #pamelasalzman | Pamela Salzman
