Re: baklava

I have! I found the recipe I had called for too much syrup-I adjusted to my own needs.
There's loads of funky varieties out there. What type are you looking at making?

Muzna, I love baklawa and am interested in making it. We'd appreciate it if you'd share your recipe.

Re: baklava

Re: baklava

k, I will post it....let me figure out the quantities cuz I just do it from looking at the ingredients to see if they will be enough or not.
I know that's never a good way to cook.....

maybe you guys will make me do it and this will be one way of preserving a recipe for Noor.
