Backlava, oh how delightful of a treat! A sweet and special dessert made with layers of phyllo, nuts, and a honey syrup. Its rich, decadent and honestly heavenly. Baklava is a sweet pastry with roots in Turkey, Greece, and the Middle East. Today, baklava is loved worldwide for its rich flavors and flaky texture!
