Dr. Galne, a physician in 131 A.D., recommended that honey be used to
stimulate the affairs of the heart. I think this is why baklava is so rich—your heart
goes into overdrive when you bite into this delicious Greek dessert! So, if you have
the time and want to indulge, here you go.

Butter a shallow baking pan, or cookie sheet that has 1 inch deep lip all around.
Place one sheet of phyllo on the pan. Brush with melted butter. Add another sheet of
phyllo and brush with butter. Repeat until 6 sheets have been layered and buttered.
