BAKLAVA



Baklava image

Many ethnic festivals are held in my city throughout the year. One in May is the Greek Hellenic Festival. My family enjoys baklava-a traditional walnut strudel. The recipe uses phyllo dough, which is not difficult to work with. Just have your ingredients ready to go and follow the directions on the package. The results are scrumptious and well worth the effort. -Judy Losecco, Buffalo, New York

RHUBARB BUTTER



Rhubarb Butter image

Inexpensive, and yummy. This was a staple at our house growing up to put on toast, and cakes. Mom also sometimes put it on chicken. It's not really sweet, more tart. I'm surprised it wasn't already on 'Zaar. Mom used white sugar, but I like the flavor of brown sugar...

BROWNED-BUTTER RHUBARB CRISP



Browned-Butter Rhubarb Crisp image

Making a crisp is one of the best and easiest ways to highlight seasonal fruit. Crisps come together quickly with no special equipment, and they are a great way to use the odds and ends of fruit in your refrigerator. This recipe highlights one of spring's finest flavors: rhubarb. It is often paired with berries, but here, rhubarb shines on its own, with tart, puckery flavor and gorgeous color. Browned butter and almonds add toasty, nutty notes to the topping, making this an almost-effortless, high-impact dessert. You may notice that 2 tablespoons of the butter aren't browned; they are added to the hot browned butter to cool it down a bit so that you can use it immediately. Feel free to swap an equal amount of rolled old-fashioned oats for the almonds in the topping. Serve this cozy dessert with whipped cream or ice cream, if you like.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons/141 grams unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups/160 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/100 grams light brown sugar
1/2 cup/55 grams sliced almonds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) or ¼ teaspoon fine salt
2 pounds rhubarb, chopped into 1-inch pieces (8 cups)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons/113 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla paste or extract
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Pinch of kosher salt
Vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, brown the butter: Melt 1/2 cup/113 grams of the butter in a small skillet set over medium heat. (Use a skillet with a light interior so you can easily see the milk solids change color.) Cook the butter, stirring occasionally and scraping the milk solids off the bottom and sides of the pan as needed, until the milk solids turn golden brown and smell toasty, a few minutes. Transfer the butter to a medium heatproof bowl. Cut the remaining butter into 2 pieces and add it to the bowl with the hot butter. Stir occasionally until all the butter melts.
  • Add the flour, brown sugar, almonds and salt to the butter, and stir together until evenly combined and clumps form. You may need to use your fingers to do the last bit of mixing.
  • Prepare the rhubarb: In a 9-by-9-inch (or 9-inch round) baking dish, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla paste, orange zest and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined and evenly mixed. Press the rhubarb gently into the pan, then scatter the crumble evenly over the top.
  • Bake until the topping is deep golden brown and the rhubarb juices are bubbling, 55 to 65 minutes. Cool slightly, then serve warm with ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The topping will soften as it sits.

Tips:

  • To ensure your baklava has the perfect texture, use a combination of phyllo dough and puff pastry. The phyllo dough will provide a crispy, flaky base, while the puff pastry will add a light and airy texture.
  • Make sure to use fresh, ripe rhubarb. This will give your baklava a tart and tangy flavor.
  • To prevent the rhubarb from becoming too watery, toss it with sugar and let it sit for 30 minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overcook the baklava. The phyllo dough should be golden brown and the rhubarb should be tender but still slightly firm.
  • Serve the baklava warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Buttery Rhubarb Baklava is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of crispy phyllo dough, tart rhubarb, and sweet syrup is sure to please everyone. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this impressive dessert at home.
