Moroccan baklava

or Moroccan pie, a recipe about 30 years old, always garners praise ...

Preparation steps

  • Mix eggs and sugar, add softened margarine and then flour. Then add raisins (previously cleaned, washed and soaked in warm water) and chopped walnuts and ground walnuts, and mix into a uniform mass / filling.
  • In a slightly oiled pan (my dimensions are approx. 32x32 cm) lay the crust, oil a little, then the second crust, oil a little and put the third crust. On the third crust, apply 1/2 of the mass of eggs, walnuts, etc. It is a little harder to spread because the mass is thicker and heavier, but slowly with a blunt knife, 1 evenly and it will be ok.
  • Arrange the crust on this filling again, oil a little, the second crust, oil a little and then the third crust. Spread the second 1/2 filling evenly on the third crust, and then three crusts again. This time, in addition to the first two, lightly oil the third-final crust.
  • Now cut the baklava as you wish. As my pan is square, I make a 4X4 net, and then I cut all 16 pieces diagonally. Bake for 45 minutes at 200 C. For the last 10 minutes you can slightly reduce the power to 170 C.
  • Pour hot baklava over the hot bay, which is obtained by boiling water and sugar in a thicker syrup and adding lemon juice towards the end.
  • Baklava will initially swim in the bay, but will gradually soak it up. When completely cooled, tear the pieces by "cuts", serve and sauté.
  • DO NOT count calories !!!

Baklava with almonds

Oriental pie with an Arabic name, baqlawa, topped with melted honey and lemon juice, is best known as Greek and Turkish, and is a favorite in our region. Tasting it with various fillings, we also topped it with almonds instead of the usual walnuts.

Baklava with pistachios

We were recently served with baklava on a flight to the exotic east. Triple pleasant surprise, because instead of walnuts they were stuffed with pine nuts and smelled of oranges. You don't have to travel for an unforgettable experience…

Layered apple pie

And the "best" apple pie is? This is not a prize question, but an introduction to a layered apple cake, which, we dared to think, could surpass its "nut" predecessor - baklava and become the universal "best" apple miracle.
