Made this for an after dinner treat tonight……delicious! Everyone loved it. However, I must confess to a habit of mine where I enjoy ‘fiddling’ with recipes! Half way through baking these delicious morsels I decided to look up Claudia Roden’s recipe for Baklava (which I have never made before, but was interested by your use of coffee and pepper!) and decided to add a little orange flower water to the second half of the syrup mixture! Oh and I also used a mixture of nuts which included hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, pistachios and pine nuts. All good! Thank you for a fabulous rendition of a classic treat. By the way, I was also surprised at how simple it was to prepare….again many thanks! The guests have gone and my partner and I have just indulged in just one more slice!

Hi im from Turkey,sorry i cant speak english well i kope you can understand me.
your dessert look very beautiful..baklava is Turkish dessert (originally) ,however we dont use cinnamon,cardamom,honey or coffee etc. our recipe is:
flour, sugar, water (olive oil or sunflower oil only 1-2 spoon for paste) egg , hazelnut or pistachio(not mix) layers must be 10-12

I was wondering if all the three baklava stacked on top of each other will fit in my mouth all at once?

Mmmm so delicious, Peter! It has been WAY too long since I have made baklava. Now you have me wishing I bought extra nuts & honey (I just bought melomakarona supplies, lol). I love the cardamom in this so I am going to try that next time.
