Baklava - low sugar version

Ingredients A:
100 gm chopped nuts
40 gm dessicated coconut
70 gm fine brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Ingredients B:
melted butter
about 12 sheets filo pastry (can be bought in most supermarkets in New Zealand. In Germany, if supermarkets do not stock them, try Turkish shops)

Mix ingredients A in a bowl. Put aside.

Spread 1 sheet of filo pastry onto a tea towel. Brush it lightly with melted butter. Then spread another sheet on top of the first buttered sheet and brush this one with melted butter, too.

Sprinkle the nut-coconut-sugar mixture evenly onto the buttered pastry.


Roll it up and cut into 5 cm pieces. Bake at 175deg. C for 15 to 20 minutes till golden brown.

Serve hot or cold.
