look here is what you do:
you can mash your almonds and buy some phylo dough. here is an ingredient list:
1 cup almonds
1 cup water
8 tbs. sugar
3 tbs. honey
20-30 sheets of phylo dough
TONS OF BUTTER!!!!
(you can never have to much butter)
What you do:
first, get your almonds in a spin in your favorite blender, and then mix with about 5 tbs. of BUTTER!!!! until it looks like a dough. this is not REAL marzipan, but real marzipan is too sweet for this.
when mixed, your half way there. Now, you cut your dough to the size of your pan (deep dish oven safe if you please), first, about seven layers of dough on each other (IMPORTANT!: BUTTER MUST BE IN EVERY LEVEL OF DOUGH!!! AND A LOT OF BUTTER!!! after seven layers, put in your almond mixture and then, put in the rest of the dough (again with BUTTER) until all your dough is gone or until you HAVE NO ROOM IN YOUR PAN!!!! First, pre-cut your creation. Then, heat your oven to 350F and put in your pan for 15-20 minutes until your dough is lightly browned. Now, you have to make a syrup. you get your sugar and honey and water in a pan and put it on medium heat. mix constantly until a bit thicker. then, put on your creation. serve quickly after.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS CALLED? BAKLAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's true!
