Maybe a little more buttery than I like, but very good. I used expresso honey ('cause that was all I had) and all pistachios, and put a little rosewater in the syrup. I also probably put in more like 1tbsp of cinnamon, 'cause I really like cinnamon. I made sure my syrup was room temp before adding it to the hot baklava, and I was worried it would still be soggy but has firmed up nicely since it cooled. I didn't make nice diamonds, mostly 'cause my knives are kinda cheap, but it still tastes good :)

Sooo good. If you have the time and like to bake, it's actually a fun dessert to assemble. It takes a little time and patience but the result is well worth the effort. I didn't know to butter the top layer and took it back out of the oven to do that when it started getting brown and crisp on top. Definitely a dessert to make again.

I haven't had a Baklava this good in years. I used to pay a dollar for smaller pieces than the ones you get with this recipe and those weren't half as good. I won't be paying for them anymore, these are great and so EASY!! If you like Baklava , you'll LOVE this recipe. Buen provecho!!

What a great way to impress people! Baklava sounds so exotic, but was easy to prepare and tastes great! Recipe is a bit time consuming, so it's for special occasions only.

I like this recipe but I don't think the use of Honey is a good idea,... no matter how much I simmered it, the combination wouldn't thicken, but rather had a watery feel to it. Instead I mixed 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice,.. simmered them and they turned out fine. I think baklava needs a thicker syrup,... but otherwise, great recipe!

This recipe was rediculously easy. It was also delicious. It wasn't nearly as sweet as I was expecting. I used a combination of pistachio nuts and almonds. I chopped them in the food processor. I think that I will make about half of the nuts into a finer grind and leave the rest a little chunky. I doubled the cinnamon. Next time, I will make sure to cut it into smaller pieces. That way each piece gets a little more syrup. This is absolutely a keeper recipe.

This recipe is super easy and delicious. I had never used phyllo dough before, but my first batch of baklava turned out awesome. I did not used chopped mixed nuts. I used shelled walnuts, and I chopped them up real fine in the coffee grinder. Also, I found that laying a damp cloth over the phyllo dough just caused the top layer of dough to adhere to the cloth in a sticky mess, so I skip that step now! I think you could experiment with different nut combinations, such as walnuts + pistachios, for a unique flavor every time. Print this recipe and save it!

I added a bit more cinnamon but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. This went over very well at a potluck. It looked great in those cupcake liners and was really pretty easy.

Like the name says, it is easy. And possibly the best baklava I've ever had! This was the first time I ever used phyllo, let alone made baklava, and I couldn't have found a better recipe to start with. The party I made this baklava for raved about it, saying they could each eat the whole pan. One thing: I had forgotten to butter the pan prior to layering the phyllo and nuts. Although I was using a brand new non-stick pan, it seems buttering the pan wasn't necessary, since the phyllo didn't stick or burn.

My first phyllo bread dish! My dessert turned out ugly looking but tasty. Well, I used too much butter, and there was plenty of 'sauce' left over ( makes GREAT pancake syrup)It was too sweet - next time I will use 1/2 cup sugar (I'll try brown sugar) . The nut/cinn. mixture made a delicious filling and it tastes better the next day. Definiately needs a second try for 'tweaking'

Easy recipe to follow, I added a little more cinnamon to the nuts (I love the taste of cinnamon!) and I also added additional honey to the water mixture. The end result was phenomenal, absolutely delicious! This recipe will remain in my recipe box - I can't wait to make it again!

I made this for my mother who loves baklava, only she can't have sugar so I made it sugar-free! I used Splenda instead of the sugar and a honey imatation sold at Wal-Mart. It was wonderful! Very rich and sweet.

BEST EVER! Better than restaurant baklava. I used both Walnuts and Pecans, added a little more cinnamon and made a double batch. Incredibly yummy.

Yum! I never made baklava before and have only eaten it maybe twice, but this was so good! I did end up with about five extra layers left over. Also I wasn't sure if I was supposed to butter the top layer or not, so I did, and it got all fouled up when it came time to cut the baklava, so I know next time not to.

I have never made baklava, it seemed like it might be too hard as I've never worked with phyllo pastry before but I made this and it turned out fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly, except for the lemon zest, and I am so impressed. I will make this many more times. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

I had never used phyllo dough before and didn't know that I was supposed to brush every single piece with butter. If I had done that it would have been perfect!

This is great and much easier than I thought. It is very important to cover the phyllo with a damp towell while working with it. Also, use a bit more honey, like 3/4 c., and orange zest works just fine, too. It is better with just pecans than mixed nuts. Careful not to over-saturate the layers with butter; brush on rather than drizzle.
