Bakllava me Mjaltë

Honey Baklava is made with fresh honey straight out of the hive in Albania. All Albanian desserts are covered in a sweet sauce, normally a sugar syrup which could be used instead of honey if you wish. Desserts are served cold, with syrps soaked in and normally two pieces at a time too. For this recipe, I use walnuts but why not try experimenting with different options such as pistachio or even fruits – I am working on a nice nut free Baklava made with fruits – and maybe a hint of coconut! Filo Pastry will dry out very quick – ensure you keep the damp tea towel over the pastry as much as possible while making your Baklava.
