Baklava Rolls

Baklava Rolls

Baklava is a Middle Eastern specialty. Baklava is made in many shapes I decided to make them in rolls. Instead of honey I used sugar to glaze and flavored with cardamom.
Baklava is made using phyllo dough; it is available in frozen section in supermarkets.
Recipe will make 18 pieces
Ingredients:
  • 6 sheets of phyllo dough (one package weigh 1 pound and have 18 14 x 18 inches sheets)
  • 1/2 cup clarified butter
  • 1/2 cup ground almond
  • 1/2 cup ground walnuts
  • 1/4 cup coconut powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/3 cup sugar
Syrup:
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • About 1 tablespoon sliced pistachios for garnish
Note
Be sure to thaw the phyllo dough using the instruction from the package, phyllo dough should be at room temperature before using. Do not open the package until you are ready to use. Unused sheets roll them in clear plastic wrap and refrigerate for next time but do need to be used within 3 to 4 days.
