Baklavah is a dessert made with Filo sheets, pistachio, and sugar. There are many varieties like this one that uses pistachio, but it can also be made with other nuts. It originates from the East but we all love it.
Take the pistachio and grind it in a food processor until it becomes a fine powder.
In a small pot, make the sweet syrup by mixing water, sugar, honey, cinnamon, and clove.
Boil until it forms a syrup and let it cool.
Take the thawed Filo dough and place it on a clean surface, covering it with a damp cloth while you prepare the dessert, as the dough dries out easily.
Grease a glass dish the size of the Filo dough you purchased with butter.
Take a sheet of Filo dough and brush a layer of butter over it, then place the sheet in the glass dish.
In the same way, place 7 more sheets of Filo with butter.
On top, place a layer of Ground Pistachio (2/3 cup).
Repeat with a layer of Filo (7 sheets) and a layer of Pistachio until the Pistachio filling runs out.
Bake the Baklavah in the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
Remove from the oven and cut the dessert into diamonds, drizzle with the syrup, and serve.
