[Sca-cooks] period baklava-like pastry was: Period Greek Recipes

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

Yep, that's the one!
Nikkis' was her grandmothers and while she loaned it to me once, she guards
it rather ferociously ;). She NEVER let me make lasagna in it, or anything
but baklava. Did I mention she was a bit of a purist ;)

Good to know I can find one of my own!

I have a pan specifically sold for making baklava, from a local  
baking supply company. It's basically a straight-sided, 14- or 15- 
inch round cake pan, maybe 2.5 or 3 inches deep, rolled upper edge.  
Mine is aluminum, but I've seen more traditional ones that were  
nearly identical, but in tinned copper.
