honey

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: corn syrup

Agave syrup has a lower glycemic index, while corn syrup is often less expensive.

Prepare the syrup (agda) by combining 1 liter of water and 1 kg of sugar in a saucepan and heating until the sugar dissolves, then simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add lemon slices to the syrup after it has boiled and simmered.

Cut phyllo dough to fit the size of the baking dish.

Grease a smaller baking dish with oil.

Layer one sheet of phyllo dough, brush with butter, layer a second sheet, brush with butter, and then layer a third sheet and brush with butter before adding a handful of walnuts.

Continue layering two sheets of phyllo brushed with butter followed by walnuts until all ingredients are used, finishing with three plain phyllo sheets brushed with butter and oil.

Cut the baklava before baking to prevent the top layer from puffing up.

Bake the baklava until golden brown.

Pour the cold syrup over the hot baklava immediately after baking.
