Ingredients
✨ Athens Phyllo Dough (2 Rolls/approx 40 sheets, Room Temperature - should be out of freezer for at least 4-5 Hours)
✨ 3 Sticks (1 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter)
✨ 3+ Cups Crushed Pistachios (Raw, Unsalted)

Syrup
✨ 2 cups granulated sugar
✨ 1 1/2 cups water

Supplies:
✨ 9x13inch nonstick Pan
✨ Pastry Brush

Clarify the Butter (Basically means we’re separating the butterfat from the milk solids)

1️⃣ Place butter in a medium saucepan and place on low heat to melt slowly. Once you notice white bits/foam floating to the top, scoop them out into a bowl.

2️⃣ Turn off the heat and pour the golden clarified butter into a separate bowl…do this slowly…more white bits will be hiding at the bottom so don’t pour that part out.

Simple Syrup
3️⃣ In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir to dissolve sugar. Bring to a simmer/boil then add a squeeze of lemon juice. Turn off heat when you have a nice light syrup consistency. Set aside.

Assembly:
4️⃣ Remove the Phyllo from the first roll, place the pan on top and trim the edges of the dough. Set phyllo dough aside, cover with a damp towel.

5️⃣ Brush the bottom of the pan with butter and then place one layer of phyllo. Separate another piece and add another layer. Repeat for a third layer then brush with butter.

✨Repeat: Phyllo, Phyllo, Buttered Phyllo (1 roll of Phyllo or 21-24 sheets)

6️⃣Add the ONE layer of Pistachio
Then repeat again: Phyllo, Phyllo, Buttered Phyllo until you’ve used up all the sheets!

7️⃣ Butter the top layer and then carefully use a knife to cut rectangular, square or diamond shapes.

8️⃣ Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and immediately drench with all of the syrup. Let the baklava rest for at least 1 hour (but the longer the better)

9️⃣ Enjoy as is, or add vanilla ice cream in the middle! 🥰 Sahtain!
