Here is a recipe that I have used for years:
3 cups walnuts (finely chopped)
1 cup almonds (finely chopped)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup sugar
Mix the above ingredients together
1 pound strudel leaves (fillo dough)
2 cups melted butter
Preheat oven to 350℉.
Place 5 fillo leaves in a 13 x 9 1/2 x 2 inch pan. Butter each as it is stacked.
Evenly sprinkle 5 heaping tablespoons of nut mixture. Place 2 leaves on top, brush with butter. Sprinkle 5 tablespoons of nut mixture. Repeat 4 times. Place remaining fillo on top buttering every second leaf (I only put 2 - 3 layers on top.
Trim edges with sharp knife.
Score top sheets into diamond shapes using “up and down” motion. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Mine seems to take a lot less cooking time - check often). Turn off heat and let Baklava cool in oven. Pour hot syrup over cooled Baklava.
Syrup recipe is below:
Bring mixture to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
2 cups water 2 cups sugar
1 - 1 1/2 cups honey 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
