--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      lb            Filo dough
   6      c             Walnuts -- chopped
   2      c             Butter -- rendered
   1      ts            Cinnamon
     1/2  ts            Nutmeg
     1/2  c             Confectioner's sugar
   2      c             Syrup

Mix nuts, sugar, spices, and 1 tb butter.

Grease a 12x17" baking sheet with butter. Place two layers of Filo
dough on the sheet and brush lightly with butter. Continue this
process until 1/2 lb of the dough has been layered. Spread the nut
mixture evenly over the dough.

Lay the rest of the dough, following the same procedure. Cut into
diamond shapes with a sharp knife, and pour the rest of the melted
butter on top. Bake at 275°F for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Cool for
10 minutes, and pour the syrup over the surface. Let cool completely
before serving.
