DIRECTIONS

Grease the aluminum tray with butter and lay the sheets of filo one by one, brushing each sheet with melted butter.
Combine all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl.
Every 5 sheets, add the crushed walnut mixture until there are no more sheets of filo left. Cut the baklava and brush with butter.
Bake at 150°C for about 1 hr.
Put the ingredients for the syrup in a pot and simmer for about 10 mins. Allow the syrup to cool.
While the baklava is still hot, pour the syrup over it and allow it to soak in.
