Baklava
 
Ingredients:
-500g filo pastry
-300g unsalted butter
-2 cups chopped walnuts or pistachios
 
For the syrup:
-500g sugar
-Half litre water
-Juice of half a lemon
 
 
Preheat the oven to 180C (350F) and brush a 25 cm by 30cm baking dish with melted butter. Place one sheet of filo pastry in the bottom and brush with the melted butter, repeating with more sheets until you have used half of the pastry. Sprinkle with the nuts and top with remaining pastry, brushing each sheet with butter as before. Cut the baklava into diamond shapes and bake until it is golden colour.
 
Make the syrup by placing the ingredients in a saucepan and bringing it to the boil over a medium heat, stirring constantly. Simmer for 15 minutes, then pour the syrup over the baklava. Allow to cool and absorb the syrup before serving.
