Notes
Uniqop’s Advice:
- To avoid cracks in the phyllo sheets, brush both sides of them with milk and oil each time.
- Pour some oil at the first step to avoid sticking.
- You can use other nuts to your taste.
- Sixteen diamond Baklavas can well serve ten people.
- Ingredients need to have equal temperature while cooking. So, put the phyllo out of the fridge 10 minutes before cooking.
