Baklava Triangles (Hand pies)
Ingredients:
- 1 package phyllo dough, thawed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups chopped nuts (pistachio, walnut, cashew, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of nutmeg
Sugar Syrup:
- 1 ½ cups honey
- ½ cup water
- 1 lemon, juice and peel
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 6 cloves
- A splash of rose water
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 380°F (190°C).
- In a saucepan, boil and simmer sugar syrup ingredients together for 10 minutes, then let it cool and set aside.
- Cut the phyllo dough into ⅓ strips and make sure to cover the dough you’re not working with since they dry out quickly.
- Take 2 layers of phyllo strips and brush the surface with melted butter.
- Put down 1 or 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts on one end of the phyllo strip.
- Grab one bottom corner of the strip and bring it over the nuts to make a 90-degree triangle.
- Keep folding the strip over itself in the triangle shape until it makes a triangle nut pocket.
- Set it on a baking sheet and brush the surface with butter.
- Bake for 35 minutes until golden brown.
- While it's still hot from the oven, pour the sugar syrup over the baklava evenly.
- Let the syrup penetrate the baklava at room temperature for preferably 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Make sure to pour syrup over the baklava while it’s still hot. This will prevent the pastry from getting soggy.
Note: The baklava can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
