BAKLAVA

Submitted by: jej
Last Updated: 9/9/2007

4 cups walnuts finely chopped
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 lb. Phyllo dough (leaves, sheets…)
1 cup butter or margarine
1 12-oz. jar honey

1. Mix together the first three ingredients. Set aside.

2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

3. Continue layering. Cut phyllo into 9x13-inch rectangles. Place layers of phyllo in pan, brushing each layer with butter.

4. After 6 layers, cover with 1 cup of nut mixture.

5. Continue layering as in steps 3 and 4. (This process usually requires more than just the one cup of butter for me.)

6. After layering is complete, use a sharp knife and cut through the layers in a triangle pattern, making 24 pieces. (I cut smaller pieces, making more than just 24.)

7. Bake at 300°F. for 1 hour. Heat honey and pour over hot Baklava. Let cool in the pan. Serve.

NOTE: I can easily use more than the 1 c. butter, probably the entire lb. I also will have extra honey available, in case it seems skimpy. I like to use the honey pure.
