Ingredients

Butter-flavored cooking spray
1/4 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup pistachios
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup honey, divided
12 sheets phyllo dough

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet with butter flavored spray. Reserve.

In a food processor, combine almonds and pistachios. Pulse to coarsely chop. Add butter, cinnamon, and sugar and pulse to combine. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Place 1 sheet of phyllo on a flat work surface, short side facing you. Spray with butter flavored spray. Repeat with second layer. Spread 1/3 of nut mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch margin at the top and bottom.

Drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey.

Cover with a layer of phyllo, spray with butter-flavored spray. Repeat with second layer of phyllo. Spray with butter-flavored spray.

Starting from the bottom, roll up into a thin cylinder (like a cigar) to the top.

Seam-side down, cut crossways into 5 sections. Transfer to baking sheet, seam side down. Spray with butter-flavored spray.

Repeat with second and third batch.

Bake until crust is evenly golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven, drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey and serve.

unbelievably good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What a brilliant recipe! The phyllo dough was a bit of a challenge, but I put the damp towel on top to keep the sheets... moist, then I made more filling than the recipe called for and added some lemon zest besides. Finaly, I drizzled honey on the sides so it would soak in. I'm just sorry I didn't make more, but considering how easy it was to make (the lesson is to be patient) I'll be making these for the family as often as I can. So so good!! Read more

YUMMY
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Having never worked with phyllo dough before, I was pleasantly surprised at how successful the baklava turned out. I read all... of the earlier reviews of this recipe and took the suggestions to heart. I doubled the filling, added brown sugar, added some fresh squeezed lemon juice, used walnuts instead of pistachios, and used the honey liberally to make the pieces more moist. I chose this recipe to share at a cooking club - I'm sure they'll love it!Read more

Good but could be better
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I think that it was very easy and quick. Though after making it and trying it, it could definitely use more filling and... possibly use brown suger also. But it was a great test and I know what to do next time.Read more

Delicious and fast
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe hit the spot. I have family over to visit my new baby, and I made this for them. My brother said that it was... not too sweet, it was just right. My Mom who is Japanese, also appreciated balance. My husband and I really ate them up. I did things a little differently, I pan roasted the nuts before I processed them. I would recommend doing the almonds and pistachios seperately because the pistachios burned a little. My husband wants me to try the recipe with pinenuts, but if I do, I'm going to mix them with walnuts. I wanted to use up the filo dough, so I used less nuts in each roll, and I think they turned out well. Next time, I'm going to use a couple more sheets in each roll.Read more

this was the best ever, and very easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this baklava for a special dessert, and the comments were excellent baklava. My friend stated it tasted better then... the bakery one. I did make more nut mixture using some walnuts. I have a greek recipe from a dear friend but this is so easy and very inexpensive. I will share a helpfiul hint to keep your dough from drying out, place a damp dish towel over the dough after you take a piece from the pile. Sandra, thank you for this wonderful recipe, now I can enjoy baklava more often.Read more

Really good especially for someone like me who has not worked with phyllo dough !
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This turned out really nice Baklava, never really worked with the phyllo sheets, but just did one precaution, took out 3... sheets at a time and rolled back the rest into the packet, that way my sheets never dried. Just changed one thing did not put drizzle honey over the baklava after they were made, I personally don't like so much sweet and the fact that they become sticky. Worked for me!!Read more
