Rolled Baklava
1 pound filo dough, thawed
1 cup vegetable oil
Nut Filling
Syrup
Spread out 1 sheet of filo dough. Dab or lightly brush with oil. Over this,
evenly place a second sheet of filo. Brush sheet with oil and lightly sprinkle
with Nut Filling. Place a third sheet of filo over this, brush with oil and
sprinkle with more Nut Filling. Roll up tightly (the 3 sheets together) jelly-roll
fashion. Slice diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Place on a lightly greased baking
sheet. Repeat until all filo dough and filling are used. Bake in preheated 350
degree oven 20 minutes or until light golden. Cool.
Freeze at this point, if desired. When ready to serve, prepare Syrup, cool
and pour over individual pieces. Serve in paper candy cups.
Makes about 4 to 5 dozen.
NUT FILLING: In a medium bowl, combine 5 cups almonds OR pecans, chopped
fine in food processor, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon
ground cloves (optional) and 1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds (optional). Mix well.
SYRUP: In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 1/2 cups honey and 1 cup
water. Heat to boiling and cook until sticky, about 5 to 8 minutes, until syrup
coats the back of a spoon. Do not overcook.
