Passover Baklava - cooking recipe

Ingredients

    1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (I used walnuts)

    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    5 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
    Syrup
    1 cup water
    1 cup sugar
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    2 1/2 tablespoons butter
Preparation
    Take the matzah out of the water and cover with paper towels for 15-20 minutes or till soft enough to fold.
    Combine the first 4 ingredients with 3 tablespoons of the butter.
    Using an 8\" square pan, make layers of matzah and nut mixture ending with a piece of matzah.
    Drizzle top of matzah with 2 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter.
    Bake@ 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
    When almost cool, cut into squares.
    FOR THE SYRUP: Combine all ingredients and the remaining butter (2 1/2 tablespoons) and boil for 10 minutes stirring slowly till thickened.
    When syrup is cool, drizzle over cut squares.
