Baklava

Baklava

Grease 9 x 12 pan

Place 3 sheets of phyllo dough (thawed) in bottom of pan

Coat with melted butter

Sprinkle with VERY finely chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)

Layer 2 more phyllo sheets

Continue to coat with butter and nuts until top of pan

Finish with 6 or so sheets of dough

Cut into four strips and then on the diagonal

Bake at 350 for 40 minutes (or until brown)

In a sauce pan, stir one cup water, one cup sugar, 1/2 cup honey and lemon juice until sugar melts and then let simmer for 20 minutes

Spoon mixture over top when it comes out of the oven

The baklava will get soggier (and yummier) as time goes on

SOooooo delicious!
