🇹🇷 Turkey recipe
Baklava
Turkish baklava is a luxurious pastry of razor-thin phyllo layers generously filled with finely ground pistachios, baked until shatteringly crisp, and soaked in a fragrant lemon-scented sugar syrup. The Gaziantep style, considered the gold standard, uses brilliant green Antep pistachios and clarified butter for an unrivaled richness.
