For the baklava:
5
Heat oven to 350u00b0F. Chop the nuts in a food processor; place in a medium bowl. Add sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
6
Butter a 9 x 13 baking pan. Add 8 to 10 sheets of filo, buttering each sheet. Sprinkle about 2/3 cup of the nut mixture over the buttered filo then cover with a sheet of filo. Butter the filo and add another 2/3 cup of the nut mixture. Alternate nuts and filo, buttering each sheet. Save 8 to 10 sheets of filo for the top. Butter remaining top sheets as you did the bottom ones.
7
Cut into diamonds with a sharp knife, starting at one corner of the pan and cutting diagonal rows 1 inch apart. Repeat from other side to make diamonds.
8
Bake at 350u00b0F for 1 hour or until golden brown. Remove from oven and evenly pour cold syrup over the hot baklava. Let stand for 1 to 2 hours. At this point, baklava can be cut into individual diamond-shaped pieces and served or refrigerated.
