INGREDIENTS
- 14-16 phyllo pastry sheets
- 1 cup roasted almonds ; chopped fine

Melt the butter and set aside.
Grease a shallow baking pan and line with 4 pastry sheets, brushing each one with butter. Extend sheets over the rims of the pan. Spread 1/2 cup mixed nuts evenly over sheets. Sprinkle them with some of the syrup and melted butter. Cover with 2 pastry sheets, brushing each one with butter. Repeat procedure 3 times. Cover the last layer of nuts, syrup and butter with the 4 remaining sheets, brushing each with butter.
Press the pastry sheets firmly against the rim of pan and trim with a sharp knife if needed. Score top of pastry sheets into approximately 1 1/2"x3" pieces. Brush the top with the remaining butter.
