| 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F, and lightly grease a shallow baking tray. | 2. Place the sesame seeds in a small, non-stick pan over a medium heat, and cook, while shaking the pan gently, for 3-5 minutes or until golden and toasted. | 3. Transfer to a bowl, add the walnuts and cinnamon and mix well. | 4. Brush 1 pastry sheet with the melted butter and fold in half crossways to form a rectangle. | 5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the walnut mixture evenly over the pastry; and starting from one of the long ends, roll it up into a log. Brush with butter. Place on a baking tray; and repeat with the remaining pastry, butter and walnut mixture. | 6. Bake the baklava for 10-12 minutes or until golden; and then allow them to cool on the baking tray. | 7. The Honey Syrup: Peel 1 large strip of rind from the lemon, remove the pith, juice half the lemon; then place the lemon rind, lemon juice, sugar, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves and 2 cups of water in a saucepan over a medium heat. | 8. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved; increase the heat to high and bring to the boil; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 10 minutes or until the honey syrup thickens slightly. | 9. Pour the hot honey syrup over the cold baklava, and stand for 30 minutes or until the baklava has absorbed the syrup. Cut each baklava diagonally into 3 pieces and serve. | 10. Tip: Purchase phyllo pastry from the fridge not the freezer, as the layers will separate much more easily. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
