Thanksgiving Baklava

This evening we're heading over to a friend's place to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner. Granted, this is an American holiday, but what better excuse than the National Excuse To Be Gluttonous day to make a pan of baklava?

It was easier this time than last time I made it, and it turned out quite well. I eased up on the syrup this time so the top would remain crisp while the bottom absorbs the syrup.

It's currently sitting on the dining room table, its buttery honey vapors wafting through the house. It's taking quite a bit of self control not to devour several pieces in advance of dinner.
