Baklava:
1(16 ounce)package of Phyllo dough
1 lb chopped nuts(we use pecans, hazelnuts and pistachios)
1 cup butter
1/2 cup ground cinnamon
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup honey
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch pan.
Chop nuts and toss with cinnamon. Set aside. Unroll phyllo dough. Cut whole stack in half to fit pan. Cover with a dampened cloth to keep from drying out as you work. Place 2 sheets of dough in pan, butter thoroughly. Repeat until you have 8 sheets layered. Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of nut mixture on top. Top with 2 sheets of dough, butter, nuts, layering as you go. The top layer should be about 6-8 sheets deep.
Using a sharp knife cut into diamond or square shapes all the way to the bottom of the pan. Bake foe about 50 minutes until Baklava is golden and crisp.
Make sauce while Baklava is baking. Boil sugar and water until sugar is melted. Add vanilla and honey. Simmer about 25 minutes.
Remove Baklava from oven and pour sauce over it immediately. Let cool. Do not cover when storing as it will get soggy.
I almost forgot...Enjoy!
