K's Baklava
Defrost one box filo in the fridge overnight.
Melt:
4 sticks unsalted butter on the stovetop
In each filo box there are two packages, open the first package.
In a large pan (11 x 13), working fast, start laying out filo-one sheet at a time, and buttering each layer well.
Once the whole first package is buttered. Top with 1 lb walnuts ground. Spread evenly. Shake to make sure the nuts are spread evenly.
Then repeat laying filo sheet by sheet with the second package.
