    List of Ingredients




    BACLAVA
    1 package Filo dough
    1/2 pound melted butter
    1 pound ground walnuts
    1 pound ground almonds
    1 cup sugar

    SYRUP
    1/2 cup honey
    1/2 cup water
    1/2 lemon, cut in slices
    1 cup sugar

    Recipe



    Butter a square baking pan which is 10 × 12. Put 4 sheets of dough to fit the pan and place them on the top of one another with a bit of melted butter sprinkled in between the layers. Then combine the ground nuts with the sugar and sprinkle about 4 tablespoons of it on the dough and place another sheet of dough over it and continue in this fashion, sprinkling nuts and small bit of the butter and placing a sheet of dough over it until dough and nuts are used. There should be about 15 layers or more. Then top with 3 more sheets of dough, (butter sprinkled in between) and press dough firmly, but carefully, down.

    Then cut in diamond shaped pieces with a sharp knife. Dribble the last of the butter over it and bake in a 300º oven for about 45 min., or until golden brown. Prepare syrup, meanwhile: Boil together the honey, sugar, water and lemon until it thickens a bit-about 20 min. Remove the lemon and syrup over baclava as soon as it is removed from the oven. Let stand and when it is cool, it is ready to serve. (32 servings)
