Baklava

Baklava is a traditional Middle Eastern sweet made from pastry and often eaten as a dessert. It is also known in many countries of the Middle East, Western Asia and the Balkan Peninsula. It developed from the cookery of the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire.[1][2] Baklava is a popular dessert in Greece and Turkey.[3] Baklava is made of thin pastry layers filled with nuts, pistachios or walnuts. It sweetened with special syrup or honey. Baklava can also be served with ice cream or kaymak (clotted cream).
