BAKLAVA - WIKIPEDIA
Baklava is normally prepared in large pans. Many layers of filo dough, separated with melted butter and vegetable oil, are laid in the pan. A layer of chopped nuts—typically walnuts or pistachios, but hazelnuts are also sometimes used—is placed on top, then more layers of filo. Most recipes have multiple layers of filo and nuts, though some have only top and bottom pastry.

HONEY WALNUT BAKLAVA - CHRISTINA'S CUCINA

I find this baklava to be immensely more appealing because when made with a simple syrup (sugar and water), the beautifully thin layers of crisp pastry become soggy and wet.
