Directions: |
Directions:Thaw frozen phyllo dough for 12 to 24 hours in refrigerator. Don't open package until ready to make. Mix together walnuts and sugar. Set aside. Melt butter and cool; skim foam off and discard. Use a 9x13 or 11x15 pan. Open pkg of phyllo dough and lay on a towel, also cover with a towel to keep from drying out. Start by buttering the bottom of the pan, then put a sheet of phyllo dough down and spread sheet with butter using pastry brush. Continue layering this way using half of the phyllo dough. Pour the walnuts over the dough. Spread evenly over the phyllo layers. Then top with a sheet of phyllo dough and butter (as with bottom layers) and continue until phyllo is used up. End with spreading butter over top and around edges. Cut into diamond shapes by cutting straight across the short way and diagonally from corner to corner lenghtwise. Bake at 325º for 25 minutes until golden brown. Boil sugar and water in pan for about 20 min on low. Remove from heat and add Rose water and lemon juice. Be careful not to boil until sugary. Cool and pour over baklava. Let cool. Enjoy. |
