Pulse until the nuts are in small crumbs. Baklava is a Greek dessert made from layers of buttered filo dough alternated with a nut-sugar-spice mixture, which is then baked until golden brown and then soaked in a chilled honey syrup immediately upon removal from the oven. When done well, it tastes like a warm, buttery, nutty, and honey-tastic version of heaven. Arrange baklava pieces in a ring over baked crust, with pointed end of each piece pointing toward center and wide ends around outside edge of pan. Pour batter over baklava into baked crust.
