  • 200 grams melted butter
  • Cold syrup (as desired)

Instructions for Preparing Puff Pastry Baklava:

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

    • Roll out the puff pastry on a flat surface. Using a pizza cutter, slice the pastry into squares approximately 6 cm in size.

  2. Add the Filling:

    • Place about 1 teaspoon of chopped walnuts in the center of each square.

    • Lightly grease a baking tray with a small amount of melted butter to prevent sticking. Arrange the baklava bundles closely together on the tray.

  5. Butter the Baklava:

    • Generously brush the tops of the baklava with melted butter, ensuring they absorb it well.

  6. Bake:

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the tray in the oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the baklava turns golden brown. Keep an eye on it while baking.

    • Remove the tray from the oven and immediately pour the cold syrup over the hot baklava.

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
