Greek Baclava - walnuts

Method

• Melt the butter in a pan.
• Cut all the sheets of filo pastry into a circular shape to fit the round, medium-sized oven dish you will use.
• Butter the oven dish and start placing 20 sheets of filo pastry individually, buttering each one as you do so.
• Mix the cinnamon with the walnuts and add the mixture to the dish on top of the 20 filo sheets.
• Place the other 20 sheets on top, again individually and buttering each one as you do so.
• Place the dish in the fridge for 10 minutes.
• When you take it out, cut the baclava into diamond shapes making sure you make the cuts right to the bottom.
• Spray it with water and bake it in a pre heated oven at 150 C for 90 minutes.
• While the baclava is baking, prepare the syrup.
• Put all the ingredients for the syrup in a pan, bring to the boil and continue boiling for 3 minutes.
• When you remove the baclava from the oven, pour the syrup evenly on top of it. This has to be done when both are still hot.
