How to make baklava:

Syrup:1 c. sugar1 c. water1 tsp. grated orange peel1/2 tsp. vanilla3 Tbsp. honey2 tsp. fresh lemon juice Coarsely grind or chop the walnuts and almonds and mix thoroughly with the allspice, cinnamon and sugar. Brush an 8-inch square pan with the clarified butter and oil mixed together. Unwrap the filo sheets; spread them out and cover with a damp towel to prevent drying while you work. Peel off one sheet; place over the baking pan and fold so that it fits the inside. Press the pastry flat against the bottom of the pan. Brush with the butter-oil mixture. Continue until you have used 1/3 of the filo sheets. Sprinkle with half the nut mixture; drizzle with butter-oil and cover with another 1/3 of the filo, brushing each sheet with the butter-oil. Cover that third with the remaining nut mixture; drizzle again with the butter-oil and cover that with last of the filo, brushing each sheet with the butter-oil. With a sharp knife, cut the top filo sheets into triangles (cutting diagonally across the pan). Bake at 350° for 30 minutes in the middle of the oven. Reduce the temperature to 300° and bake another 45 minutes or until the Baklava is golden and crisp.

Meanwhile, make the syrup. Combine the water, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and orange peel in a small pan and stirring constantly, cook over moderate heat until the sugar dissolves. Boil about 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in the honey. Cool slightly before pouring over the pastry. Allow to set several hours at
