Sprinkle nuts thinly over the sheet. Add another sheet, brush with melted butter. Continue alternating 3-5 layers of butter sheets with nuts until only 3 sheets remain. Sprinkle remaining nuts, and continue placing and buttering last 3 sheets until all are used. Cut in diamond shaped pieces. Bake in 300 degree oven for 45 minutes, then raise the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 15 more minutes. Pour syrup over baklava.

It strikes me as a natural for Barrayar, given the Greek background and availability of maple products. (Paul, I couldn't remember if you were a listie or just a fan of the series.) I can report that it was thoroughly taste-tested by the Mount Wachusett SF Society, and proved popular-- once we convinced JT that eating the whole pan by himself was A Bad Idea! Robin
