The very essence of baklavas is dreamy because they are so flaky, nutty, sweet and crunchy that the pastry makes one’s mouth water almost as soon as they lay their eyes upon them. It is this very ability of the yellow-green dessert that is known to have become popular because of the Ottoman Empire, that have made even city restaurants consider putting it on their menu; one of them is Butterfly High.
