Cover with the last two phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter. 8. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the baklava into small diamond shapes. 9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crisp. 10. While baking, combine honey, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, lemon juice, and water in a small saucepan. 11. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until sugar dissolves. 12.
