GREEK BAKLAVA
A Greek favorite that makes everyone think you are a master chef and is sooo easy to make!! I taught a Greek friend how to make apple pie and she taught me this fabulous recipe. The phyllo dough for this recipe is found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. Add a little lemon zest to the sugar sauce, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a food processor, pulse walnuts, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup sugar until finely ground.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup water and remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar over medium-high; bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer; cook until slightly thickened and sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in honey. Let syrup cool completely.
- Brush a 12-by-2-inch round cake pan with butter. Trim each phyllo sheet into a 13-inch round (cover with plastic and a damp towel as you work). Carefully layer 7 phyllo sheets in pan, brushing butter between each layer. Sprinkle one-third of nut mixture over top. Repeat process twice more, brushing butter between each layer. Top with remaining 7 phyllo sheets, brushing butter between each layer.
- Generously brush top layer with butter. Using a sharp knife with a very thin blade (such as a boning knife), cut baklava into quarters, cutting through all phyllo layers. Halve each quarter to create 8 equal wedges. Working within one wedge at a time, make two straight cuts, 1 inch apart, parallel to one side of wedge. Make two more cuts, parallel to opposite side of same wedge, creating a diamond pattern. Repeat process in remaining 7 wedges.
- Bake until deep golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven; pour syrup over baklava. Let cool completely before serving.
KARITHOPASTA - GREEK WALNUT SYRUP CAKE
This is a variation on a popular Greek dessert which is a firm baked cake covered with sugar syrup. The syrup is allowed to seep into the cake for a few hours (preferably overnight) and it sweetens and moistens it. Note that this recipe uses breadcrumbs instead of flour and is useful when you want to bake something but have run out of flour.

Steps:
- Grease a 22cm by 35 cm pan with butter or margarine. Do not line with baking paper or use non-stick sprays.
- Beat butter in a medium bowl until softened and add sugar beating until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl combine breadcrumbs, spices and baking powder.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition and then the liqueur.
- Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and beat until combined.
- Finally add the walnuts and beat until just combined.
- Tip into baking pan and smooth evenly over bottom.
- Bake on the bottom rack of the oven at 200c for 30-35 minutes depending on how hot your oven is.
- Test cake by inserting skewer and allow to cool until room temperature.
- While cake is cooling add ingredients for syrup into a small saucepan, except for vanilla essence.
- Boil for 5 minutes at medium heat. Then take off heat and add the vanilla essence if desired.
- Pour hot syrup over cooled cake. Start by ladling slowly from one end to another and gently tip remaining syrup over cake trying to be as even as possible.
- Allow cake to soak syrup for a few hours. It is best if it soaks overnight.
- Cut cake into diamonds to serve with a swirl of whipped sweetened cream (I add a bit of vanilla essence or liqueur to the cream) and flaked chocolate.
- Note: It is beat to start with all ingredients at room temperature to avoid butter curdling when eggs are added.
