"The batch is drenched in boiling sugar syrup and it's ready to eat." that sounds just about right.

It ended way too abruptly. My soul wasnt prepared. :/

I had a wonderful friend in college named Rema. She was Arabic and her dad had a restaurant. She used to bring me all kinds of food and desserts like Baklava. It was heaven!

Them boys breathe in so much flour, they probably cough up biscuits.

This is why I don't complain about bakery prices. I've tried to make baklava once (with pre-made filo dough) and it was still so time-consuming and the dough so delicate, I couldn't handle it properly. Like I'd pay my $2.50 and enjoy it.

We went to Tarpon Springs and the first time tasting it my sister, our friend and I were fighting for the last bit. We finally brought it home and shared it. We love Baklava.

"The batch is drenched in boiling sugar syrup and it's ready to eat'. Wrong info. The baklava needs to come down to room temp so that the filo is crunchy and easy to bite thru. When the boiling syrup is poured over it, the filo becomes very chewy and not easy to bite thru.

I love these thingies that they wear on their forearms 😂😂😂 keeping the arm hair out of the baklava lol

It requires a lot of effort and perfection to make this, so I tell myself everyday what ever I do it will take time and effort to make it perfect ☺
