    Utensils Used
    | 1. Preheat oven to 325. | 2. Butter base and sides of 13x9x2 pan (seperate quantity of butter). | 3. Melt butter and allow to rest to thickened (If you don't you'll need almost DOUBLE the amount!). | 4. Mix nuts, sugar and spices together. | 5. Place 9 sheets of filo brushing each with butter before the next is added. (Use pastry brush). | 6. Spread 1/2 the nut mixture over top sheet of filo. | 7. Add 2 more sheets (one at a time), buttering between. | 8. Spread remaining nuts over the top. | 9. Top with all remaining sheets of filo, buttering between each one. | 10. Trim edges (around sides of dish) with a VERY sharp knife. | 11. Butter the top layer. | 12. Score through the first few layers of filo (into diamond shaped pieces) to facilitate cutting later. | 13. Sprinkle lightly with water over the top to avoid curling of top layer(s). | 14. Bake for 30 minutes (middle rack), covering with foil if the top browns too much. | 15. After 30 minutes, remove from oven. | 16. Spoon strained syrup over HOT baklava. | 17. Allow to sit for several hours to all day before serving (the longer, the better). | 18. While baklava is baking, prepare syrup. | 19. Place ingredients in saucepan and stir constantly until sugar dissolves completely. | 20. Boil for 10 minutes. | 21. Strain and allow syrup to cool before using. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
