Yes, I am familiar with this technique. It is a good tip for this kind of dessert. Syrup must either be cool and poured over hot baklawa or hot and poured over cooled baklawa. Never pour hot syrup over hot baklawa; it will make it soggy.
Also, if you can sprinkle water over top (before putting in oven) to prevent phyllo from curling up. |
