105 minutes

Baklava with honey, walnuts, and cardamom is an exquisite dessert rooted in European culinary traditions. Its base consists of the thinnest layers of dough soaked in melted butter and generously layered with aromatic nut filling. Walnuts provide a delicate buttery texture, while cardamom adds a hint of spiciness and an Eastern aroma. Baked to a golden crust, baklava achieves a crispy top layer softened by sweet honey added at the end. This treat pairs perfectly with strong black tea or coffee, revealing the depth of its flavor. Baklava is traditionally prepared for holidays and family celebrations, symbolizing warmth and hospitality. Its refined sweetness with nutty notes makes this dessert a true gastronomic gem of European cuisine.
