Baglava

Thoroughly mix together almond, cardamon and powdered sugar. Set aside.

In a flat baking pan combine egg yolks, milk and melted butter.

Add flour little by little, until a dough is formed.

The dough should not stick to your hand.

Divide the dough into 5 equal portions and place each portion into a plastic bag.

Remove dough one piece at a time and make five sheets to fit the size of the pan.

Cover the bottom of a well-greased pan with 2 pastry sheets. Brush each sheet with melted butter before placing the next sheet on top.

Place 2 more sheets on top, grease each sheet.

Cut pastry into 1 x 1-inch squares.

Add 3 or 4 tablespoons melted butter on top.

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until crust is golden. Immediately drizzle syrup on top.

Cover the pan with aluminum foil and let cool.

Sprinkle pistachios on top just prior to serving.
