How Do You Make Matzoh Baklava For Passover?
Baklava is a luxurious treat with a Middle Eastern flavor. A deliciously sweet syrup is poured over layers of pastry to create a unique desert. Use matzoh as the base of baklava for a sweet ending to your Passover Seder. Hold each piece of matzoh under the faucet until all sides are wet. Lay each sheet on a damp paper towel and set aside. After 2 hours, the matzoh will be pliable enough to work with to create your Passover dessert. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each piece of matzoh. Cover with damp paper towels until you are ready to make the rest of the baklava. Combine 1 cup of water and the sugar in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the temperature on the stove to medium and allow the syrup to thicken. This should take about 15 minutes. Add the lemon juice, honey and rose water to the syrup and simmer on low for 60 seconds. Rose water can be found in Middle Eastern specialty markets. Turn off the heat and let the syrup cool completely.
