Baklava

I wanted to use up left over phyllo, so made a small batch of baklava. It turned out great. Mostly followed this recipe, but didn't measure anything: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/michael-symon/baklava-recipe-1972768 Cut some of the sheets in three, and had about 8-10 sheets per layers. For the filling, process walnuts, pistachios and almonds with a slice of leftover Challa bread and cinnamon. So prepare two layers of the filling between three layers of the dough (with the usual butter). Cut into diamond shape. Bake till golden brown. Heat about 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup of honey and boil till slightly thick. Squeeze some lemon juice and boil another minute or two. Pour over warm baklava and leave overnight.
