   2      pounds        Filo dough
   6      cups          walnuts -- chopped
   2      cups          butter -- rendered
   1      teaspoon      cinnamon
     1/2  teaspoon      nutmeg
     1/2  cup           confectioner's sugar

Mix nuts, sugar, spices, and 1 tbsp of butter.

Grease a 12" x 17" baking sheet with butter.  Place two layers of Filo dough on
