For the Honey Syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Walnut Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped walnuts, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Mix well and set aside.
2. Assemble the Baklava
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Carefully unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out.
- Place one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared baking dish and brush it with melted butter. Repeat with several more sheets, brushing each layer with butter, until you have a layer of about 8-10 sheets.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of the walnut filling evenly over the phyllo dough.
- Continue layering the phyllo dough and walnut filling, brushing each layer of phyllo with melted butter, until all the filling is used up. Finish with a final layer of phyllo dough, brushing the top generously with butter.
