Baklava is the most popular among all Mediterranean sweets. It features a thick layer of nuts such as pistachios, cashews, or walnuts. The thicker its nuts filling, the richer and the tastier it is. One of its secrets is the amount of sugar syrup to add to it. The right amount will give it a sweet taste while keeping the taste of nuts and dough in perspective. Adding too much sugar syrup would dominate its taste and hide the satisfaction delivered by the nuts and dough, while being too short on the sugar syrup would deny its sweet feeling and gratification.
