I finally found the perfect Baklava recipe.

Find it in this book: Kyriakou, Theodore, and Charles Campion. "Baklava." The Real Greek at Home: Dishes from the Heart of the Greek Kitchen. London: Mitchell Beazley, 2004. 42-43. Print.

It takes quite a bit of time and the amount of clarified butter (454 g clarified = 1 1/3 lbs unclarified butter!!!), sugar (1000 g), and honey are almost shocking, but the result is remarkably authentic.
