Day 60: Sinful and delicious, butter-rich baklava is simple to make. The recipe is on the back of the Athens frozen fillo (phyllo) pastry box. You might want to use a proportion of pecans in place of walnuts as I've done here, and a little extra cinnamon and cloves. Be sure you have a napkin handy, because the honey runs down your chin no matter how hard you try to eat it politely. The best thing about homemade baklava? You don't have to limit yourself to one of those teeny little diamonds of pastry they serve in restaurants. You can cut off a whoppin' big square and have it for breakfast!
