Aladdin Restaurant has some of the best baklava. The phyllo dough is light and flaky, and the filling is sweet and nutty. The honey syrup adds a touch of sweetness and keeps the baklava moist.

serves/makes:

ready in:
30-60 minutes

ingredients

1 pound phyllo dough
1 pound chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons sugar
1 pound butter

Honey syrup
2 cups water
4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice

directions

Prepare honey syrup and let cool. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 18-by-12-inch heavy pan with high sides. Do not use a cookie sheet.

Add half of dough. Combine nuts, cinnamon and sugar in bowl. Sprinkle over layer of dough. Top with remaining half of dough. Make diagonal crisscross cuts through dough, an inch apart, creating diamond-shaped pieces. Pour melted butter over all and bake in preheated oven 45 minutes. Cover with cold syrup. Let baklava cool before serving.

Honey syrup: Bring water and sugar to boil in saucepan. Add honey and lemon juice.
