Pistachio Baklava With Honey And Rose Water

---

This is my contribution to the lunch – a tray of pistachio baklava with an aromatic honey syrup.

---

Steps

---

In a saucepan , heat the water , sugar , honey and lemon juice until it comes to the boil and cook for a minute.

---

Now add the orange blossom and rose waters , boil for a few seconds , and remove from the heat.

---

Allow to cool before using on the baklava.

---

Preheat the oven to 200c.

---

Grind the nuts.

---

We want them to be medium-fine if they are ground too finely , the resulting filling will be very dense.

---

Combine with the sugar and cinnamon , then add the orange blossom and rose waters and mix well.

---

Set aside.

---

In a dish , brush the base with a little melted butter , then add a sheet of filo.

---

Brush with butter , then add another sheet.

---

Brush with butter , and continue until you have six sheets of filo in the dish.

---

Add the filling , and spread out.

---

Be gentle so you dont break the pastry.

---

Now add the rest of the pastry , in each case adding a layer , brushing with melted butter , then adding the next.

---

Finish by brushing the sixth sheet with butter.

---

Cut the baklava into pieces long .
