Ingredients:

  • 4 cups walnuts (16 oz package)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 (12 oz) jar honey

Directions:

  1. 1. Grease 13 x 9 baking dish. In large bowl with spoon, combine chopped walnuts, sugar and cinnamon until blended; set mixture aside.
  2. 2. In baking dish, place 1 sheet of phylllo, allowing it to extend up sides of dish; brush with some butter. Repeat to make 5 more layers of phyllo; sprinkle with 1 cup walnut mixture. Cut remaining phyllo into approximately 13 x 9 rectangles.
  3. 3. Place one sheet of phyllo in baking dish over walnut mixture; brush with butter. Repeat to make at least 6 layers, overlapping small strips of phyllo to make rectangels, if necessary. Sprinkle 1 cup walnut mixture evenly over phyllo.
  4. 4. Repeat step 3 two more times. Place remaining phyllo on top of last walnut layer (I put at least 6 more sheets). Trim any phyllo that extends over top of dish. With sharp knife, cut just halfway through all layers in a diamond pattern to make 28 servings. Bake in 300 degree oven 1 hour and 25 minutes or until top is golden brown.
  5. 5. Meanwhile, in 1 quart saucepan over medium-low heat, heat honey until hot but not boiling. Spoon hot honey evenly over baklava. Cool in pan on wire rack at least 1 hour, then cover and leave at room temperature until serving time.
