Baklava With Cooky Filling Recipe

Ingredients

1 karen mintzias

COOKY FILLING

2 cup sweet butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
4 cup flour

SYRUP

4 cup granulated sugar
4 cup water
1 cup honey
1 lemon juice to taste

BAKLAVA

1 lb toasted blanched almonds *
1/2 cup zwieback crumbs
4 tbsp granulated sugar
1 dash cinnamon
1 lb phyllo pastry sheets
1 1/2 cup sweet butter, melted


Directions

*Note: Either toasted blanched almonds, or walnut meats, or half of
each, (finely chopped) may be used.

Cooky Filling: Cream the 2 cups sweet butter until light. Gradually
beat in the confectioners' sugar and continue to beat until mixture
is fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla or almond extract and blend well.
Work in about 4 cups flour to make a medium-soft dough. Set aside
and make syrup.

Syrup: In a saucepan combine the granulated sugar and water. Bring
to a boil and boil for 15 minutes or until syrup is slightly thick.
Add honey and again bring to the boiling point. Add lemon juice to
taste, and cool.

Mix almonds or walnuts, or a combination of the two, with zwieback, 4
T granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Brush 2 sheets of phyllo pastry
evenly with butter and sprinkle with nut mixture. Place 2 buttered
sheets of phyllo on top and sprinkle with nut mixture. Shape a
portion of cooky filling into a 1/2-inch-thick roll and place the
roll along one edge of the pastry sheets. Roll up loosely, cut into
2-inch slices, and place slices in a buttered cake pan. (Continue in
this method until all phyllo pastry and/or cooky filling is used.)
Brush tops of each slice with butter and bake in a 350 F oven for 20
minutes or until lightly browned. Dip the hot baklava slices, one at
a time, in cold syrup, allowing each piece to remain in the syrup for
a few minutes.

The History of Recipes

Academics have traced the existence of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.

As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have some books which were published in the 14th Century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are unconnected to the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the period.

In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, such as basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for a torrent in books on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives.

The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site.
