Date-filled Baklava isn't, so far as I know, traditional, but if you bake a lot of Middle Eastern pastries you invariably end up with lots of little Tupperware containers of nut and date stuffings and find yourself mixing and matching, which is how I came up with this.

It's easy to make, delicious and makes a great tea or coffee companion.

- FOR THE SYRUP: Prepare it one day ahead. Put Water and Sugar on HIGH heat stir well till Sugar dissolves. boil uncovered for 5 minutes. Add lemon juice, rose water and orange flower water and boil for 2 more minutes. Cool and refrigerate.
- FOR THE FILLING: In a heavy base pan on very low heat mix prepared dates and Butter. Simmer for about 30 - 40 minutes stiring on and off until dates turn to a dark red colour and all Water evaporates. Set aside. Keep warm.
- ASSEMBLING YOUR DESSERT: Spread one phylo pastry sheet in a buttered baking dish and brush pastry sheet with melted butter. Repeat this process with 8 sheets brushing each sheet with Butter. Spread your warm date filling evenly over the phylo pastry. Spread one phylo pastry sheet over the dates, brush with melted butter. Continue till you finish all the phylo pastry sheets.
- Cut the phylo pastry into squares with a sharp knife. The size of each square is up to you.
