Also, the reason why you want to clarify the butter is so that it can last a long time in the oven without burning. The clarification process removes the dairy solids from the butter, which have a tendency to burn easily. You should be fine with leaving the baklava in the oven for 2 hours, sometimes I even leave it in there longer for a crunchier result. In terms of butter, I usually go with a good quality European butter or organic butter. I hope this helps! Let me know how it turns out :-) Hi Sapna–I wouldn’t use margarine since you really get a lot of flavor out of the butter in this dish.

I've seen recipes that call for rose water...do you know if there any authentic basis to this or is it just a contemporary, alternate version? I love baklava though I’ve only made it once myself.
