Baklava – Eat Street!
Recommended for Foundational Grades
A delightfully rich, buttery, and sugary delicacy, Turkish Baklava is also known as Fistikli Baklava or Pistachio Baklava. It is made with ground pistachios.
To a large extent, it is composed of phyllo (a type of pastry), butter, and chopped nuts like pistachios. Pistachios are sandwiched between two layers of dough in this baked treat.
After that, a syrup that consists of sugar, water, and lemon juice is poured on top of it.
