 Categories: Desserts, Turkish, Greek
      Yield: 24 servings
 
      1    Pkg Fillo Sheets
      1 lb Butter, melted
      1 lb Walnuts, chopped
      3 c  Sugar, white granulated
    1/2 ts Ground Cloves
      1 ts Ground Cinnamon or
    1/4 ts Ground and 1 Stick Cinnamon
           9 x 13 Pyrex Baking Dish
           Pastry Brush
 
  1. Chop walnuts to medium fine and mix with 1 cup
  sugar, 1/4 Teaspoon ground Cinnamon and 1/4 Teaspoon
  ground Cloves. 2. Melt Butter. 3. Cut Fillo in half so
  that each sheet fits the bottom of the Baking Pan. 4.
  Generously butter the bottom and sides of the baking
  pan and place the Fillo, one sheet ata a time, in the
  baking pan. Generously spread butter on each sheet of
  fillo as it is placed in the pan.  Every 6 to 8 sheets
  of Fillo sp[read a layer of walnut mix.  Continue
  layering Fillo sheets and walnuts until Fillo is
  complete.  Pour any remaining butter over top of the
  Baklava.  The secret to good flaky Baklava is to have
  each sheet of Fillo well buttered so that the sheets
  do not stick together. 5. With a sharp knife, cut the
  Baklava diagonally to form diamond shaped pieces. 6.
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake the Baklava for
  40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown on top.  Remove
  from oven and allow to cool completely. 7. SYRUP Mix
  one cup water, two cups sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground
  cloves and either 3/4 teaspoons Cinnamon or the
  Cinnamon stick in a sauce pan and bring to a bnoil.
  Simmer for 20 minutes. 8. Pour the boiling syrup over
  the cool Baklava and allow to cool completely again.
  When cool serve individual pieces with strong
  (Turkish) sweet coffee and dried apricots for an
  exquisite dessert.
