@jakedduck1 Baklava is easy? With filo dough? I have used filo dough for appetizers. The last time I did that I was dealing with a migraine at the same time. Even though the dough was not the cause of the headache, I think having the headache caused me to never work with filo again.

Hi JK,
Yeah it's easy, at least it use to be. Making the dough is a pain though. Roll & roll & roll I'd never try it with a headache though. Once I got so impatient I wadded up the dough and threw against a window. I enjoyed that. No Baklava that day. You have to be able to see through the dough and that's thin and hard to work with. Use the store bought stuff. Super simple then. I think pistachios with some walnuts are best. I didn't care much for the hazelnuts. Roll the dough on a dowel if it's acting up. Just layer some then add the nuts layer some more and use plenty of butter on each layer. I think it's better if you mix some of the syrup with the nuts. Cook and pour syrup over it and chill. See, easy peasy. Much easier than fixing dinner. Maybe because it's so much better.
