Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 cups finely chopped walnuts, almonds, or a mix
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 pound phyllo pastry, preferably extra-thin
  • 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine nuts, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves in a bowl.

Unroll phyllo; halve crosswise. Immediately cover with plastic wrap and then a damp towel. Keep covered while working.

Brush a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan with melted butter. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo in pan. Lightly brush with butter; cover with another sheet of phyllo, and butter again. Layer phyllo and butter 5 more times, ending with phyllo.

Sprinkle phyllo with 2 tablespoons nut mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo over, brush with butter, and cover with a sheet of phyllo. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons nut mixture; repeat layering with butter, phyllo, and nuts until filling is used up, for a total of about 21 layers. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo over; brush with butter. Layer phyllo and butter six more times.

Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the pastry (1/4 inch deep) diagonally into diamonds (about 2 inches long). Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, place sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer 3 to 4 minutes.

Pour the syrup over surface of baklava; let cool completely. To serve, use a sharp knife to cut into pieces along scored lines.

                In fact, this is a Turkish recipe and i'm not sure if allspice is one of the  ingredients.
                and more sugar should be used in this recipe.

                My mom told me to use corn surup instead of sugar and I don't think its sweet enough. How can I fix it.
