"This honey baklava is flaky, crisp and tender and I love that it isn't overly sweet. You will love the hint of mellow lemony flavor which offsets the sweetness and compliments the cinnamon. It's truly delicious. This recipe can be made several days in advance of your shindig and keeps beautifully at room temperature for at least a week...."
