Turkish Baklava

Turkish confectionery provides a wide selection of pastiries made out of pastry dough, nuts add honey or syrup, where shape and filling determine the type.
Baklava is one of such treats.
Baklava is Turkey's most famous dessert. It consists of whole or chopped pistachio nuts enclosed between paper thin layers of filo pastry, drizzled with a honey based syrup. It makes a deliciously sweet and nutty dessert or a treat to serve with aromatic Turkish coffee.
Pistachios are the most typical filling in baklava. However, other nuts can be used for the filling and you can find walnut, cashew, pecan or almond baklava's.
