INGREDIENTS

320g filo pastry

220g peeled almonds

170g shelled pistachios

170g shelled walnuts

200g melted butter

A teaspoon of cinnamon powder

For the syrup:

170g sugar

220ml water

220g honey

Pistachio grains for decoration

METHOD

1. Blend the almonds, walnuts, and pistachios.

2. Pour the resulting powder into a bowl and mix with cinnamon.

3. Brush the base of the baking pan (25x20cm) with melted butter and line it with parchment paper.

4. Start by layering two sheets of phyllo dough brushed with melted butter. Then, on the third layer, brush again and add a well-distributed layer of nuts.

5. Continue this way, alternating two plain layers and one with filling, achieving a total of at least 14 layers. The last 8 layers should be only buttered phyllo dough, without nuts.

6. Once the pan is complete, cut diagonally with a knife to form the classic diamond shapes.

7. Bake at 160°C for 45 minutes, until golden brown.

8. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, prepare the sweet syrup: Melt sugar, honey, and water. The syrup will be ready when it’s golden and thick.

9. While still hot, pour it over the surface of the baklava and finish by sprinkling with chopped pistachios.

10. Before serving, let it cool to room temperature.
