6. Add another sheet of filo on top, brush with melted butter and repeat this process with another 12 sheets of filo.
7. Use a sharp knife to cut diagonal into the Baklava, pour any remaining melted butter on top.
8. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce oven heat to 160c and bake for another 35-40 minutes or until Baklava is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and pour the Honey Syrup all over the hot Baklava. Let it sit in pan until syrup is absorbed, this can take a least 1 hour.
