About Bakllava

Unë Gatuaj presents bakllava as an Albanian New Year sweet traditionally made with homemade pastry sheets. This walnut version layers an egg-and-milk dough around a spiced nut filling.

Melted butter enriches the pastry, while cinnamon and cloves season the walnuts. The syrup combines sugar, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon and vanilla for a sweet, fragrant finish.

The layered pastry is cut into diamond shapes, with a golden surface surrounding the walnut centre. The baked layers absorb syrup, giving the finished pieces their rich, sweet character.
