Preparation |

To make the syrup in a medium size saucepan dissolve the sugar in
a water and add in the lemon juice and the citrus blossom water.
Place the pan on high heat and bring slowly to boil. Then reduce
the heat and simmer for a few minutes until it turns into a shiny
syrup. Let it cool down on one side.
Grease a round baking tray. On each leaf of filo brush some melted
butter. In the middle of the square pastry put some of the coarsely
chopped walnuts. First, fold the two opposite sides, then roll it
loosely. Place them into the baking tray in rounds, starting from
the middle. Pour the rest of the melted butter over them and bake
for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden.
Pour the cold syrup over the hot pastry and allow it to soak well.
Decorate it with chopped pistachio nuts and serve cold.
