Prep Time20 minsCook Time45 minsTotal Time1 hr 5 mins
Puff pastry
 Brick pastry
Filling
 1 Ground almonds (or 500 g of nuts and 500 g of ground almonds)
 350 Granulated sugar
 1 Ground cinnamon
 Orange blossom water
 600 Melted butter
 1 Whole blanched almonds
 1 Honey
Directions
1

In a well-greased 60 cm diameter aluminum tray, layer 7 sheets of pastry, brushing each one with melted butter as you go.

2

Garnish the surface with the mixture of ground almonds, sugar, and cinnamon, smoothing it out. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of orange blossom water over this mixture. Cover with the last 5 buttered and layered sheets, folding the edges inward to seal.

3

Score deeply with a knife to create diamonds, then pierce them with whole blanched almonds. Drizzle the entire surface with 2 or 3 tablespoons of butter.

4

To finish, bake in the oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes (but keep an eye on it starting at 30 minutes). Once out of the oven, drizzle the cake with melted honey mixed with 1 tablespoon of orange blossom water. Let it rest for 24 hours, then cut the baklavas and place them in lined cups.
