You finish your meal, look at the dessert menu, and suddenly have to decide whether one small plate is worth the extra money. Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes you regret ordering it. What's the most disappointing or surprisingly good restaurant dessert you've had?

Recipe Traditional Algerian Baklava (flaky layered pastry filled with spiced nuts and honey)

​Made a batch of traditional Algerian Baklava today. Unlike commercial pastries made with store-bought phyllo dough, authentic Algerian baklava relies on handcrafted dough stretched paper-thin with cornstarch, layered precisely with rich ghee or clarified butter (smen).

​The filling is a fragrant, coarse blend of almonds and walnuts lightly spiced with cinnamon and scented with orange blossom water. After baking to a deep golden perfection, every piece is drenched right out of the oven in warm, honey syrup infused with orange blossom.

​Ingredients:

​Pastry & Fat: All-purpose flour, melted ghee (or smen), cornstarch, pinch of salt, and water.

​Nut Filling: Coarsely ground almonds and walnuts, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and orange blossom water.

​Syrup & Finishing: Pure honey, clarified butter, and a splash of orange blossom water.

​Quick steps:

​Prepare the Dough: Mix flour, melted ghee, salt, and water into a smooth dough, then let it rest for 30 minutes.

​Make the Filling: Combine the ground almonds, walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, and a tablespoon of orange blossom water.

​Roll the Layers: Divide the dough into 14 balls, rolling each into an ultra-thin, see-through sheet using cornstarch.

​Assemble: Layer 7 brushed dough sheets in a buttered pan, spread the nut filling evenly, and top with the remaining 7 brushed sheets.

​Cut and Bake: Score into traditional diamond shapes, top each piece with a whole almond, bake at 180°C (350°F) for 45–50 minutes until golden, and drench immediately with warm honey syrup.
