In an 11X14 pan
Ingredients:
1 lb. phylo dough
2 lbs ground walnuts
½ Cup sugar
1 & ½ - 2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoons grated nutmeg
1 lb butter
whole cloves
Directions:
Unroll dough and place between 2 slightly damp towels so it will not dry out. Melt 1 lb butter over low heat. Mix all the spices, sugar, and nuts together. Generously brush pan with butter. Now begin by placing layer of dough then brush with butter, keep layering dough/butter for 8 layers. End with a dough layer on top with no butter. Instead put a thin layer of nut mixture and then continue with dough/nut layers for about five layers. Then do 8 more layers of dough/butter.
Cut into diamond shapes before baking and in each diamond place a whole clove if desired. If there was remaining butter you can pour it over the top.
Bake at 350 degrees 40-50 minutes.
After it cools pour cooled syrup over the top of everything.
