  Line bottom of prepared pan with 2 sheets of phyllo dough (sheets

  (Keep dough covered with a damp towel until ready to use to prevent
  sheets from drying out.)

  dough, brushing with butter between each sheet. Spread with
  remaining walnut mixture. Top with 1 layer of phyllo dough; brush
  with butter. Repeat 14 times. Cut into 2-1/2" squares; cut each
  square in half diagonally. Brush remaining butter over top. Bake @
  350°F/175°C until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
  
  In a large saucepan, bring syrup ingredients to a boil. Reduce
  heat; simmer for 10 minutes. Strain syrup, discarding zest; cool to
  lukewarm. Pour syrup over warm baklava.
