Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unroll pastry leaves and separate in to 3 stacks of even height and cover loosely with wax paper then with a damp paper towel to keep pastry from drying out. Place one of the stacks in a buttered 17 x 12 x 2 inch baking pan and brush every second sheet with melted butter. Mix filling and scatter one third of it over pastry stack. Top with half of the leaves from the second stack, brushing every other one with melted butter. Sprinkle with another third of the filling, top with remaining leaves from second stack, again brushing every other sheet with melted butter. Sprinkle with remaining filling and top with the third stack of pastry leaves,again brushing every second sheet with melted butter. With a sharp knife cut baklava into 30 squares. Measure remaining butter and add a little if needed to total half a cup, brown lightly over low heat, then pour evenly over pastry.
