Matzoh Baklava

3.6

(9)

Editor's note: This recipe was created by chef Einat Admony for an Israeli Passover menu.

This is one of those desserts that magically improves as it sits — you could serve it after one day, but it's even better on the third day, as the matzoh soaks up the lemony syrup. To avoid a cloying rose flavor, be sure to use rose water (available at Middle Eastern markets and adrianascaravan.com), not rose syrup.
