Anyone who has ever been to Crimea has probably tried baklava, which is sold almost everywhere on golden beaches. You can't help but like this dessert and you will definitely want to try it again, but for this you do not need to go to Crimea again.
It is necessary
- • 3, 5 glasses of wheat flour;
- • 3 tablespoons of sour cream;
- • 70 g butter (can be replaced with margarine);
- • 2 teaspoons of bee honey;
- • 130 ml of water;
- • salt;
- • 1 teaspoon baking powder (you can use baking soda);
- • 250 g of cow's milk;
- • 1 full glass of granulated sugar;
- • 100 g of nuts;
- • 700 g of sunflower oil (odorless).
Instructions
Step 1
You will need a deep bowl to make the dough. You need to pour cow's milk into it. The butter must be melted to a liquid state in a water bath, or a very slow fire must be used for this. Then pour the butter into the milk and mix everything thoroughly.
Step 2
Pour sour cream into the resulting mixture and add quite a bit of salt. Again, everything is thoroughly mixed. Pour the required amount of baking powder into the flour, and then sift it using a sieve. If you use soda instead of baking powder, then it must be mixed with sour cream.
Step 3
Pour the flour into the milk mixture and knead the dough. It should eventually turn out to be quite elastic and tight. Roll the dough into a ball and place in a plastic bag. So it should lie for a quarter of an hour (15 minutes).
Step 4
Then cut the dough into several small pieces. Each of the parts must be rolled out into a thin layer (try to keep it as thin as possible). Let the rolled dough lie down for a bit, weathered so that it does not stick together when twisted.
Step 5
Each layer needs to be wrapped in a roll, a rolling pin can help you with this. The free edge of the dough must be pinched slightly, and the rolling pin must be removed. Then with a sharp knife, the roll needs to be cut into pieces. Cut at an angle, the width of the pieces should be approximately 20 millimeters.
Step 6
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the baklava in it. A beautiful ruddy crust should form on its surface.
Step 7
Pour sugar into the water and add honey, boil everything. In the resulting syrup, you need to lower the finished baklava, and then put it on a dish. To top it off, sprinkle with chopped nuts.
