Ingredients:  
4 cups chopped walnuts
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1lb. Phyllo (strudel) leaves
1 cup butter
1 jar (12 oz) honey
Directions:
Directions:
1. Grease 13”x9” baking dish. Combine walnuts, sugar, cinnamon until blended; set mixture aside.

2. In baking dish, place 1 sheet of phyllo, allowing it to extend up sides of dish; brush with butter. Repeat 5x; sprinkle with 1 cup of the walnut mixture. Cut remaining phyllo into 13”x9” rectangles.

3. Place one sheet of phyllo in baking dish over walnut mixture; brush with butter, repeat 6x, overlapping small strips of phyllo to make rectangles, if necessary. Sprinkle 1 cup walnut mixture over phyllo.

4. Repeat step 3 two more times. Place remaining phyllo on top of last walnut layer. Trim off any phyllo that extends over top of dish. With sharp knife, cut just halfway through layers in a diamond pattern to make 28 servings.

5. Meanwhile, in 1 quart saucepan, over medium heat, heat honey until hot but not boiling. (I also add the juice and grated rind of 1 lemon to the honey). Spoon evenly over Baklava.
Cool in pan on wire rack at least 1 hour, then cover and leave at room temperature until serving time.

TO SERVE: With sharp knife, finish cutting through layers.
