Rolled Baklava(Strifto) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. fila
1 1/2 c. melted butter
4 c. chopped nuts
4 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Unfold package of filo and place on waxed paper.
Cover with more waxed paper and damp dish towel to prevent fila from drying and cracking.
Remove 3 fila at a time and place on flat surface. Brush each generously with melted butter, arranging one filo on top of the other.
Combine nuts, sugar, spices and vanilla. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of nut mixture evenly over two-thirds of the top buttered fila.
Starting with the filled edge, roll loosely in a jellyroll fashion to make a long roll.
Place in greased baking pan.
Continue filling pans with nut rolls, using 3 well buttered fila for each roll.
Cut each roll in 1 1/2-inch diagonal slices, leaving the rolls intact.
Brush tops with melted butter.
Bake in 325\u00b0 oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden. Cool.
Pour warm syrup over rolls in pan.
Let stand 1 hour. Makes about 60.
