Ingredients:

Filling:

1 lb blanched almonds or an almond/walnut combination 3/4 cup
sugar 1 tsp ground cardamom

Syrup:

1 1/2 cup sugar 1 cup water 1/2 cup rosewater (buy the type that
comes in 10oz. bottles, not the exorbitantly priced little bottles.)
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 lb filo, thawed Finely grind the
nuts. Add cardamom and sugar to the nuts. Cut the filo to fit a
12x15" pan. Brush bottom of pan with butter and add 6 sheets of filo,
brushing each with butter. Sprinkle and spread enough of the nut
mixture until you've added about 1/8" to the pan. Continue building
layers with 3 sheets of filo(brushing each with butter) to every 1/8"
of nuts. Finish with 6 layers of filo. Brush top with butter. Cut
through all but the bottom layer of filo in diamond shapes. Bake at
350 degrees F. for 25-30min.

While it's baking, boil the water and sugar for 15min. Remove from
heat and add rosewater. When the baking is done, pour the syrup over
the baklava.
