Instructions: Continuing with the Sepharadic recipies I found on

This variation of baklava is ideal for buffet receptions as it is an elegant finger delicacy. It freezes well if carefully packaged in single layers.

Makes 80 pieces recipes from "Cooking The Sepharadic Way"

Grind nuts; mix with sugar and crumbs. Set aside. Take one sheet of filo and cut lenghtwise to make 4 long narrow atrips. Dab each piece very lightly with oil (which is best done with a pastry brush). Fold over top and bottom of each piece about 1/2 inch. Place 1 level tablespoon of the nut mixture on one corner and fold over to form a triangle. Continue folding over and over until the end of the strip. Form several layered trangles. Place triangles on lightly grased pan and bake at 325F until light golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Watch baking carefully as they burn easily. When baked, remove from pan and allow to cool on paper toweling.

SYRUP: Cook syrup ingredients together until a drop from a spoon threads slightly, (about 20 minutes). Do not overcook.

When triangles are cool, dip in warm syrup for not more than one minute.

Remove and sprinkle with slightly roasted sesame seeds.
