Baklava

I already posted this picture on facebook but now I’m adding it to my blog. Sorry to those of you on FB who are now seeing it for the 2nd time!

I used Alton Brown's recipe.

I used ground cinnamon and ground allspice (1 tsp is equivalent to 5 allspice berries) in the first part instead of grinding all that stuff up - cheating but whatever. I did use the cinnamon stick in the sauce part. And I did the recipe in half. Heaven knows I don't need a 9 x 13 of baklava sitting on my counter!

It's a long process but well worth it once it's in your mouth - Enjoy!
