Steps to make Baklava with pistachios:
- Melt the butter but don't let it brown.
- Blend the pistachios in the blender into powder (if they are coarsely blended the baklava filo sheets will not stick together).
- Line an oblog baking tray of 30x45 cm with butter (you can use a baking tray in the dimensions that you have just make sure that it is relatively large) and spread out half the filo sheets brushing each one with butter.
- Spread out the pistachios all over the baking tray and cover with the 20 remaining filo sheets brushing one by one with butter.
- Place the baking tray into the fridge to cool so you can cut the pieces.
- Cut into small square pieces, sprinkle with a little water so that they don't lift up while baking and bake in a very slow oven at 130-140οC for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Remove from the oven and pour the syrup over it, hot.
- To make the syrup, boil the sugar, water and glucose syrup for 3 minutes (count 3 minutes from the moment it starts to boil).
While it's still piping hot, immediately pour the cold syrup evenly over the baklava. When the baklava is baked through and has a lovely golden brown color, remove it from the oven and let it cool a little. Meanwhile, prepare the syrup by mixing sugar, lemon peel and water in a medium size pot. Remove from oven and immediately spoon the cooled syrup over the hot baklava (you'll hear it sizzle).
