Buy phyllo dough frozen. Use butter, nuts, cinnamon, sugar,some honey and lemon juice. Spreadthe phyllo, butter each layer, spread on your filling. No need to follow the ingredients. Be imaginative - add spices you like, vary the type of nuts. Remember to chop them finely.

It's very basic actually. It is made with phyllo dough (you can find it in your grocery store's freezer section), honey and pecans. It's layers upon layers of these ingredients.

It all starts with layers and layers of phyllo dough and butter, you can either make the phyllo pastry yourself or buy it from the store. A lot of honey and chopped nuts are also called for for this wonderful treat.
