Baklava
- ½ cup of white sugar
- ½ cup of water
- 4 tablespoons of runny honey
- ½ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 9 oz chopped walnuts
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- ¼ cup of white sugar
- 12 sheets of filo pastry
- 4 oz of butter, melted
Sugar Syrup
Add the sugar, honey, lemon juice and water to a saucepan over a gentle heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, momentarily bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Filling
In a small bowl mix together the chopped walnuts, cinnamon and sugar for the filling.
Assembly
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a shallow baking tin approximately 12 inch x 8 inch x 2inch with a little of the melted butter. Cut the sheets of filo in half vertically (longest edge nearest you). Stack the pastry and keep it covered with a slightly damp cloth. Generously butter each pastry sheet and layer 8 sheets of pastry on the bottom of the tin. Spread half the filling over the pastry evenly, then butter and stack another 8 sheets of filo. Put the filo on top and spread on the rest of the filling. Butter and stack the last 8 sheets of filo and put these on top. Brush generously with the remaining butter. Using a sharp knife cut the baklava into 20 small diamonds. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 300°F and bake for a further 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Pour the cold syrup over the pastry and leave until completely cold. Gently cut through the pastry again with a sharp knife and carefully lift each diamond out onto a serving platter. Serve the Baklava with strong black coffee.
Baklava will keep well for several days in a container, stored in the refrigerator. Makes 20

There is an old saying about a plank and an eyeball coming to mind.. http://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,2763,1418094,00.html

JimfromOhio said:For awhile I stay away from bashing the Catholics but Catholics are here bashing everyone else.
thereselittleflower said:No we aren't Jim . . . This is a twisting of what has happened in this thread.
I guess it is OK for non-Catholic to take pot shots at our faith, make unsubstantiated claims against our own and inflated claims in contrast about theirs and we should just be silent and let you all do it?
Look at the OP again Jim . . we have been defending against those negative statemetns in attack of our faith ever since in this thread. We have been challengng the unfounded claims made by the OP . . that is NOT bashing . .
But bringing up unrelated issues to attack the Catholic Church is bashing Jim . . .
Peace to all
CaDan said:Yay! More cookies!
Did anybody think to bring egg nog?
JimfromOhio said:Is she that far behind on the posts? I think I made that post about 50 posts ago.
geocajun said:I guess publically admonishing a brother about the tone of his thread and the insulting things he has said such as up above would perhaps be asking too much, but, if you are going to turn your head at this uncharitable behavior, then at least be consistant about it.
CaDan said:We've moved right along to "peace, good will toward man."
*pops down to the store to pick up egg nog*
CaDan said:I'm back with the egg nog!

vanshan said:Our married priesthood, has spared us from such a scandal. Please don't mislead anyone to yoke our two very different groups together. Our bishops are fallible men, so they may sin in any number of ways, but I've heard nothing like what has happened worldwide in your faith.
