Layer 2 sheets @phyllo dough{1%pkg} and butter. After 4 cycles, start adding 25 grams of nuts to each layer. Repeat 12 times. Leave the remaining sheets loose on top (should be about 8). There are 40 sheets in total -> (2 * 4) + (12 * 2) + 8 

Cut into 3 * 5, then cut diagonals. There should be 30 pieces total. 

Bake for ~{50%minutes}.

= Make the syrup

Add @honey{170%g} and @vanilla{5%g}.

Boil until the temperature gets to very early thread stage (223°F at sea level minus 1°F for every 500 ft. in elevation).

Immediately when the pastry finishes, pour the syrup evenly across the pan.
