Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Melt butter (start with 2 sticks - you can always melt another stick if needed) and crisco together. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 baking pan completely.
- Layer phyllo dough for bottom crust: Lay down 1 sheet of phyllo and completely brush with melted butter. Continue until you have 6 buttered sheets of phyllo.
- Mix the nuts, sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle some of this mixture over your bottom crust.
- Then lay down 2 layers of phyllo, one at a time - each sheet needs buttering. Sprinkle another coating of your nut mixture. Continue alternating with 2 layers of buttered phyllo and a sprinkling of the nut mixture. (Make sure you have at least 6 sheets of phyllo dough left for your top crust. ).
- Lay your 6 phyllo sheets, 1 buttered at a time, to create your top crust. Use remainder of butter over top of crust. (If you didn't have enough butter, you could melt more.).
- Score pieces diagonally.
- Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, or whenever browned.
- Turn oven down to 350 degrees F. and cover baklava with foil. Continue baking for another 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile make your syrup:.
- Boil sugar and water together. Add honey, lemon juice and brandy.
- Turn to low heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens. This should take approximately 10 minutes. Let cool.
- When baklava is done cooking, pour the cooled syrup all over the top, while the baklava is still hot. Cool the baklava and finish cutting. Keep in a cool place.
