Ingredients
- 350g unsalted butter (melted), plus 1 tbsp for greasing
- 175g blanched almonds
- 175g raw pistachio nuts
- 250g sugar, divided
- 450g filo pastry, thawed if frozen
- 175g honey
- 60ml rose water
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Method
Step 1
Grease with butter and line a 30 x 20cm Swiss roll tin. Reserve.
Step 2
Place the almonds, pistachios and half the sugar in a food processor. Pulse to chop rough.
Step 3
Cut the filo pastry to fit the tin, then place one layer of filo on the base of the tin. Brush with melted butter. Repeat twice. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the nut mixture evenly over the third layer of the filo pastry.
Step 4
Repeat until all the filo sheets are used, finishing with three layers of filo pastry on the top. Chill for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 180c/350f/Gas mark 4.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled baklava in diagonal strips. Cut across the strips to form diamond shapes.
Step 7
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 8
Meanwhile, place the honey, 250 ml water, rose water and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat on low for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
Step 9
Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava pieces again. Pour the syrup over the baklava. Serve hot, warm or chilled.
