Baklava

• 500 g (1 lb) fila (about 24 sheets)
• 180 g (6

Buy fila ready-made in paper-thin sheets. You will need a large deep baking dish, round or square, and a pastry brush. Paint the dish (the sides as well) with melted butter. Fit half the number of pastry sheets in the dish one at a time, brushing each sheet with melted butter and overlapping or folding the sides over where necessary.<
