Method

Blend walnuts and almonds in a food processor until finely chopped and combine with sugar, cinnamon and ground cloves.
Brush a sheet of pastry with butter, spoon 1/3 cup walnut mixture along the length of the pastry and roll up tightly into a long, thin roll.
Place onto a baking tray and brush with melted butter. Repeat with remaining walnuts and pastry. Bake at 200°C for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven, pour syrup evenly over trays of baklava rolls and stand for 10 minutes. Gently turn rolls over and stand in syrup until cool.
Cut diagonally into fingers and arrange on serving platters.

Sugar Syrup

Heat all ingredients together in a saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves, then simmer for 10 minutes without stirring.
Use as required.
