5. Place about a 1/4 of the nut mixture on top of the 10 buttered sheets
6. It goes like this: 10 buttered sheets 1/4 nut mixture. 5 buttered sheets. 1/4 nut mixture. 5 buttered sheets 1/4 nut mixture. 5 buttered sheets. 1/4 nut mixture. 15 buttered sheets on top
7. Butter the very top, even pour the rest of your butter and carefully cut baklava lengthwise 4 rows then cut diagonally for diamonds
8. Place a whole clove in each diamond shape and bake at 300 degrees for one and a half hours depending on your oven. Make sure it is golden and flaky on top
9. When baklava is done take out the oven and spoon or ladle the cool syrup all over the baklava concentrating in the cuts. Remember cool syrup, hot baklava
10. Let it sit for at least 8 hours to overnight to soak up all the sweet syrup (I know it's hard to resist) 😇
11. It can be stored at room temperature for a week, longer in the fridge ENJOY !! 😋❤️😋

Classic baklava recipe, the traditional Greek pastry made with ground nuts, layers of phyllo and drizzled with honey syrup. I've had baklava now and then over the years, sometimes good, sometimes not so much. In other words, not a huge fan, just kind of neutral.
