ingredients
directions
- Unfold Phyllo dough. Cut to fit 9x13 pan.
- Cover with damp towel while using.
- Brush bottom and sides of pan with butter.
- Combine chopped nuts, cinnamon and sugar.
- Cover bottom of pan with 2 sheets of phyllo dough.
- Brush with butter, sprinkle with nut mixture. Repeat until all dough is used. Push edges into sides of pan to even them out.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut pastry into squares. Make sure to cut through all the layers.
- Sprinkle water over top to keep phyllo from curling up.
- Bake 1 hour.
- About 15 minutes before phyllo is done, make syrup. If you make sooner than that the syrup will thicken before dough is done. Any later, the baklava will be too cool.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, karo syrup and orange zest. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in honey. Let cool 5 minutes.
- Remove Baklava from oven and pour warm syrup over entire pan.
- Let cool for several hours. Syrup will thicken just right.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a 55 year old female. Born and raised in the south. I am married and have three grown children and one granddaughter and my best friend Chewy,a toy yorkie. I love Carolina basketball. camping and reading.
I have been cooking since I was able to reach the counter, cooking my first meal at the age of 10. My mother and grandmother taught me the southern ways. I don't measure much (neither did they) so if you try my recipes, take that into consideration.
I am a three time cancer survivor and hope to finally get my recipes together in one spot for family and friends before my luck runs out. Hope you and your family enjoys them as much as mine has.
