PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR RECIPE AND VARIATIONS. You can put whatever you want in this baklava. You don't have to follow my recipe perfectly. Make it to your own taste. If you like ghee, use ghee. If you prefer pistachios, use them, if you prefer cashews, use them (very yummy actually), if you like more nuts, put as much as you want (just beware that there comes a point that there are too many nuts and it breaks the phyllo). If you like spices in it, then put spices. If you don't like the spices, don't put them. The beauty of this recipe is that it is so flexible. The only reason I posted this recipe on Youtube, is because I have a lot of friends who ask me how to make it. I give this link to my friends when they ask me. For any youtubers out there also looking for something different than Baklava squares, this method is a lot easier to make. But just because I made a video, doesn't mean the exact method is written in stone. Thank you all for sharing your ideas for variations. I'm pretty sure I have addressed every possible variation in this description & the original recipe is written here for anyone who actually wants to try it that way. You will need: For the syrup: 1 & 3/4 cup of sugar (435 ml) 1 & 1/4 cup of water (310 ml) 1 tsp of lemon juice (5 ml) For the Baklava you will need: 1 pastry brush 9*13" Baking Pan (3L) 1 rolling stick - about 3/4" in diameter... I bought mine in a building box store, cut it in half, sanded, washed and oiled it.... It's also great ...
