This recipe is like no one else's. I use a simple syrup instead of honey. It gives a lighter feel to the dessert, not like honey that coats your mouth and tongue. MY Dad said it is better tahn his Yia Yia's baklava, and he thought that was the best. That is a nice compliment.

35 90 125

Ingredients

  • 1 lb phyllo dough
  • 1 1/2 C unsalted butter melted
  • 1 lb. walnut meat finely chopped
  • 8 Tbs. sugar
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground clove
  • syrup ( below)
  • 3 1/2 Cwater
  • 1 C sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 5-6 whole cloves
  • 1 lemon sliced and squeezed
  • 1 orange sliced and squeezed

Directions

  • Lightly spray a 13X9X2 pan with cooking spray.
  • Start with 10- 12 sheets of phyllo dough and brush melted butter on each sheet.
  • Combine walnuts, 5 Tbs. sugar, cinnamon and ground clove.
  • Sprinkle about 1/3 of the mixture over the shhets in the pan. Continue with phyllo and when another 10- 12 sheets are laid, sprinkle another 1/3 of the mixture.
  • Place another 5- 6 sheets and sprinkle the remaining 1/3.
  • Spread the remaining sheets on top.
  • With a very sharp knife, cut through all layers in a diamond pattern. Make as big as you want. I like them about 1 inch diamonds.
  • Heat remaining butter until very hot and starting to brown.
  • Pour over baklava
  • Sprinkle a few drops of cold water over baklava and bake in a 350 oven for about 30 minutes.
  • Reduce to 300 and bake about 1 hour more.
  • When you take the baklava out, immediately pour the strained syrup over the whole pan.Do about 1/2 of the syrup, let it soak up and dump a little more on top. Make it a s wet as you want. I don't like it real wet.
  • Let it cool down and serve. Enjoy! Yield: serves 30
