- Mix clarified butter and Crisco together, heat and then set aside till ready to bake paklava. Take a loaf pan [not Teflon about 12 X 12 x 2 inches and spray with non-stick cooking spray and place upside down on 10-12 sheets of fillo dough. With a very sharp knife, cut around the pan to make dough the same size as the pan. Separate fillo dough sheets carefully and dust with cornstarch if necessary. Place 5 sheets one at a time into the pan, buttering each sheet.
- Now spread an even layer of the walnuts, sugar and cinnamon that have been mixed together. Now place the other 5 sheets of dough on top of the nuts, buttering each sheet. With a sharp knife, cut the stack of dough into diamond shaped pcs [about 25-30]. Generously brush the butter/Crisco mix over the dough and then bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 min. Remove from the oven and brush the rest of the butter/Crisco mix over the dough [this makes the dough rise]. Bake again for 20-25 min or possibly till a light golden on top. Remove from the oven and let cold. To serve, drizzle hot sugar-lemon-honey syrup over the top. Don't syrup too long in advance of serving, or possibly paklava will become soggy.
