Baklava

• Ingredients
• Fillo dough
• 1/2 pound Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups Sugar
• 1 tsp. Cardamon
• Almonds
• 1 tsp. Lemon Juice
• 1 1/2 cups Water
• Crushed Pistachios
• First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Next,
  melt the butter over very low heat. Combine
  freshly ground cardamon cinnamon in a small bowl.
  Lay two layers of fillo dough on a baking sheet,
  and pour two tablespoons of melted butter over
  the dough. Use a pastry brush to spread the
  butter.
• Next, sprinkle a thin layer of fresh almond nuts,
  and a small amount of the cinnamon/cardamon
  mixture. Repeat this until you have several
  layers. On the top layer, only spread melted
  butter. Bake the baklava at 375 degrees, until
  the fillo dough is golden brown. At this point,
  remove the baklava from the oven and prepare the
  syrup.
• For the syrup... Combine one and one-half cups of
  water with one and one-half cups of sugar, and
  one teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Bring the mix
  to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer for 5
  minutes. While the baklava is still warm, cut it
  into small triangle shapes and drizzle the syrup
  over the baklava. To finish, sprinkle with
  crushed pistachio nuts.
