A freind made this when we were out camping a couple years ago. See you can make anything in a Dutch Oven. Wishing all a belated Happy Thanksgiving. Wishbone-Ks
Baklava
12-inch dutch oven approx. 20 cookies
Ingredients:
24 sheets Fillo dough
1 cup butter
1 ½ cups finely chopped walnuts
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Lemon Honey Syrup
1 ½ cups sugar
¾ cup water
½ tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp honey
Prepare honey syrup by combining all ingredients & bring to a boil. Boil 1 minute. Chill
Melt butter. Mix walnuts, sugar & cinnamon; set aside. Butter the bottom of a 12 inch dutch oven generously. Lay 1 sheet of Fillo dough in bottom of the dutch oven. Using a pastry brush, butter the top, beginning at the edges & working towards the center. Repeat this step until you have placed 8 sheets of Fillo in the dutch ovens, buttering each layer. Sprinkle ½ of nut mixture evenly over Fillo dough. Place 8 more sheets of Fillo dough on top of nut mixture, buttering between each layer. Sprinkle remaining nut mixture on top layer. Repeat with 8 more sheets of Fillo dough. Drizzle remaining butter on top. Cut excess Fillo dough from around the edge of the dutch oven. Cut into diamond shaped pieces without cutting through the bottom layer of Fillo dough. Place lid on dutch oven. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until lightly golden ( 350= 8 coals on bottom & 16 on top) Remove from heat and pour chilled syrup over the Baklava. Finish cutting through the bottom layer of Fillo. Serve
