We flatten the parsty balls by the rolling pin to form the tray-sized thin layers of the pastry. We put 12 layers on the tray, cut them in a circle shape, fill the layers with ground pistachios and the white of an egg from one side and press them from the other side. We garnish the Baklava pieces with Pistachio powder and put them on the baking tray.
And we pour the melted butter on it. Then, we bake it in a hot oven on 170 degrees until the colour is golden, so we remove it from oven to add some more melted butter and put it back in the oven and bake it.
The syrup: we boil a mix of 5 glasses of water and 4 glasses of sugar for 15 minutes then we add a few drops of lemon juice and boil it for more 1-2 minutes. We pour the syrup on the Baklava after removing it from the oven. It will be ready to be served after percolating the syrup into it.
