Turkish Walnut Baklava

A pastry made with layers of filo brushed with clarified butter, filled with walnuts, and finished with a syrup of sugar, water, and lemon.

This Turkish baklava variation layers walnuts between thin sheets of filo and uses a simple syrup of sugar, water, and lemon. Bake until the pastry is golden, then let it rest so it can absorb the syrup.

Method

  1. 01

    Chop the walnuts

    Finely chop the walnuts without grinding them to a powder, then set them aside.

  2. 02

    Layer the pastry

    Grease a roughly 22 cm square or rectangular pan with a little clarified butter or ghee. Layer 15 filo pastry sheets, brushing each with clarified butter or ghee before adding the next. Spread the walnuts over them, then cover with the remaining 15 sheets, brushing each one as well. Tuck the edges inward.

  3. 03

    Cut and bake

    Using a very sharp knife, cut the pastry into diamonds all the way to the base. Drizzle the remaining clarified butter or ghee over the top. Bake at 180 °C until the surface is golden and crisp, about 30–40 minutes.

    35 min
  4. 04

    Make the syrup

    While the pastry bakes, put the water, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat gently without stirring for about 20 minutes.

    20 min
  5. 05

    Add the syrup and rest

    Remove the pastry from the oven and pour the syrup over the entire surface. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
