This was awesome! Everyone at work said it was better than any restaurant baklava they'd every had. I had never used phyllo dough before, so I had some trouble, but with enough butter and nut mixture, it still worked out great. And I loved pouring the hot sugar mix over the top. Awesome!

Can't go wrong with this recipe. I use pistacho... blender chop till breadcrumb like. I only use a small dash of cinnamon to give it some depth... I want to taste PISTACHO! I didnt have lemon on hand so just the honey vanilla syrup. SO gooooood.

A little time consuming, but so easy. Really takes less time and easier than making a cake - no icing time! :) Went great with our Greek night dinner party.

This was time consuming, but got RAVE reviews from everyone I shared it with (about 6 people or more). It was very easy too, but the layering took awhile! I used more phyllo sheets per layer to make it go faster, and it was still delicious and flaky.

Rec'd RAVE reviews when making this. It may be "easy", but it's still very time consuming. I had tried to make it special by following another reviewer's suggestion of apricots, while it may have added a nice texture - def. slowed the process down as the mixture became sticky to work with.

I've never had baklava before now so I can't compare, but my family loved this recipe. My husband kept making people try it and he's a very picky eater. I think next time I make it I'll follow someone else's advice and use a little more honey and maybe a tad more cinnamon. I used pecans, walnuts, and almonds. I bought them already chopped in the baking section at the grocery store. I didn't have lemon so I squeezed a little juice from a fresh orange in the syrup as it was simmering. Well worth the time it takes to put everything together.

This was AMAZING! My boyfriend and I always get Baklava at a Greek Restaurant in town, and we both thought this was MUCH better!! It was sooooo easy to make, followed the recipe exactly, although I also had a lot of dough left over. Mine also cooked in about half the time, good thing i was watching it!! We took what we didnt eat that night on a road trip with his family the next day, and they devoured it!! None of them believed I actually made it, they were all impressed. Will be making this constantly, all this talking about it makes me want more actually...... another batch here I come!

Delicious and easy. I slightly messed up with the phyllo dough (I didn't use as much as was stated, as it just filled up the pan more quickly), and was worried how that would impact it. But everyone LOVED it. And...they seem to think I slaved over it. The only slaving is the chopping of nuts. Leave yourself ample time. I used pistachios and walnuts (50% each), and I think that it is the perfect mix.

Good! Made a few changes. . . used orange zest instead of lemon, didn't have lemon! Made half a recipe and it was just as much work! Also would advise that you just sprinkle nuts over each layer. I put a heaping teaspoon on each layer and had a ton of phyllo dough left over. Very good!

This was SUPER yummy, i added more layers of the buttered phyllo dough on the bottom and top of the baklava. i also tweaked the mixture a little bit because all walnut was just... too nutty I boiled 3/4 cup of dried apricot and 1/4 cup of dried cranberries in just enough water to cover for 20 minutes. i then roughly chopped the mixture and added it to the nuts with 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. I also added a teaspoon of nutmeg for a bit more kick. YUM

I'm so excited I can make baklava at home! It's too easy. Working with phyllo dough was a bit tough at first but after a couple layers I got into it. YumYumYum. Mine did burn a bit. I followed the recipe exact so it could have been an error I made or my electric oven. ANYONE CAN MAKE THIS! Try it!

AWESOME! Very authentic taste. Super, super easy to make...time consuming, but easy. This was THE HIT of the party and the best dessert there. I followed the recipe to the tee and did not change a thing. To those who think the syrup needed to be cooled, it does not. I poured the entire amount of syrup over top while it was still hot and bubbly and it soaked in and hardened up just fine. What an awesome dessert for a crowd.

I hate to go against the majority, but my family didnt like this at all. They all said it was too sweet. I love sweet things, but I felt the same. Tried it the next day to see if it tasted better and it was even worse. Sorry - Wont be making this one anytime soon.

Fantastic, I couldn't stop eating it. It was very simple and great taste. I brought it to work and they went crazy. I made it in two smaller pans to freeze so it didn't turn soggy and it was great
