Phyllo has no eggs. it is water, salt and flour.
also... just a good hint I forgot.. when you make a sugar syrup use a
table spoon of honey to just flavor it up and a little orange peel boiled
in with cinnamon. Remove the peel and cinnamon sticks when you pour it
over the top. Cradle the pan and drain off the remaining syrup back in to
a jar and store in fridge until the next time you need it for pastry. IT
CAN WORK to make it low carb.. I am the mom of a diabetic baklava loving
type 1 teen. Moderation is also a key and using enough insulin prior to
eating it. But remember... Baklava is not a daily thing... it is for
special things.. Greeks don't eat it everyday! although we sometimes
wish! <smile>
