Baklava is a sweet and indulgent dessert made with layers of phyllo pastry, nuts, and a sweet syrup. The phyllo pastry is brushed with butter and layered with a mixture of finely chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pistachios, or almonds. After baking, the baklava is drizzled with a syrup made from honey, sugar, and lemon juice, which adds a delightful sweetness and moisture to the dessert.
