Mix all the dough ingredients together, then divide into 12 pieces.

3

Brush each layer with clarified butter or ghee. Spread the cream filling in the center, then layer the remaining sheets on top, brushing each with butter.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden. Pour the syrup over the baklava while hot.
