A Baklava is a popular Middle Eastern desert with thin crisp layers of buttered filo sheets layered with a sweet pistachio mixture baked crisp then soaked in sugar syrup that just melts in the mouth. This simple, easy and effortless recipe for honey pistachio baklava makes the most decadent baklava you will ever taste.

Baklava with pistachios step by step
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)..
To achieve this goal, we sprinkled store-bought phyllo dough with three separate layers of nuts (pistachios) flavored with cardamom. I like making my baklava with walnuts and pistachios combined. Pulse the nuts in a food processor and pour into a bowl. In a separate bowl combine the sugar, flower water, orange blossom water, honey, and simple syrup. Add the icing sugar and cardamom and pulse to combine.
