About this

Baklava is a traditional Turkish dessert consisting of thin layers of filo pastry filled with chopped nuts like pistachios or walnuts, baked until crisp, and then soaked in a sweet syrup made from sugar, water, and sometimes honey or lemon. In Turkey, it's commonly enjoyed as a treat during holidays, family gatherings, or with tea, and variations can be found in bakeries across cities like Istanbul, where it's often cut into diamond shapes and served fresh.
