Ave. Rating is  (0 ratings) Add Your Comments and Ratings

Posted by:  

This recipe was made by the Jews of Greece. Baklava is normally made with lot's of butter, but Jews have numerous recipes for it without butter - typically oil is used instead. It can be tricky to successfully roll the phyllo dough but the result is well worth it.
