Today was buffet day again, and again I made a beeline for the dessert. I made two different kinds: one with the traditional honey syrup, and one with a Meyer lemon syrup, which Shonna kindly brought in today. For the Meyer lemon one, I zested a bunch of the lemons and steeped that with the juice in simple syrup. Then, I strained out the zest, and candied it with the sugar and cinnamon nut mixture which went in the filling. It was DELICIOUS! Tart + Sweet = mmmm. Baklava is a crowd pleaser, for sure, and I'm gonna give it another go soon with Kataifi, a shredded phyllo dough that makes it look like a Baklava bird nest!
