What is baklavaki?

Baklavaki is a type of sweet pastry that originated in Greece and is widely popular in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. It is a smaller-sized, single-serving version of the traditional baklava, which is made with layers of phyllo pastry, ground nuts, and honey syrup.

The baklavaki pastry is typically shaped into a diamond or triangular shape and is filled with chopped nuts, usually walnuts or pistachios, and flavored with cinnamon and other spices. The phyllo dough is stuffed with the nut mixture and then brushed with butter or olive oil before being baked until crispy and golden.

Baklavaki is often served as a dessert with a cup of Turkish coffee or tea. It is a popular treat during holidays and special occasions, such as weddings and festivals. Baklavaki can also be found in Greek and Middle Eastern bakeries and pastry shops.
