Baklava
* 1 lb. phyllo dough (Apollo preferred)
* 1 stick of sweet butter
* ½ lb. almonds or walnuts (or a combination of the two, or green pistachios)
* cinnamon
* cloves
* powdered sugar
* 2 cups sugar
* 1 cup water
* fresh lemon juice
syrup: in a saucepan, bring to boil 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of water, and juice from a squeezed fresh lemon. When it begins to thicken, turn off the stove and pour in rose water (optional). It gives a great aroma.
In a bowl, mix the nuts with the spices and 1 tbsp. of powder sugar. In a rectangle pan, brush the melted butter, then one by one place the phyllo brushing each one with the butter until about 8 sheets of phyllo are spread. Then put some of the mix, then 2 sheets of phyllo. Repeat until the mix is finished. Then 6 sheets of phyllo with the butter until it is over. Brush with butter and add 2 or 3 drops of water all over. Cut the baklava in small squares, and place it in a preheated oven for about 1 hour. When you take it out, place over the already prepared cool syrup. Good Luck! ( KALI TIHI)

Baklava sundae sounds great, Kel. Rancid nuts, Mills, don't think I've had many problems with those, but I don't really eat it that often. My dad used to bring it home when I was a kid. Are they common? They're crushed wallnuts I believe, not almonds.

Sounds Nasty Mills. Stick with Planters. I've never had much of a problem with them. O0
