Directions
1. Step
In a food processor, grind the pistachios to a coarse texture. Transfer to a mixing bowl, mix in the powdered sugar, and set aside.
2. Step
Melt the butter and strain it into a measuring cup. Add vegetable oil until the total volume reaches 1 cup.
3. Step
Unroll the thawed phyllo dough and cut the stack in half to fit your baking pan. Place one half of the sheets in the bottom of the pan.
4. Step
Evenly spread the pistachio mixture over the phyllo layer. Cover with the remaining phyllo sheets. Cut the layered dough into small squares or diamond shapes.
5. Step
Pour the butter-oil mixture evenly over the baklava. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
6. Step
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice. Cook for 10 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly.
7. Step
Pour the hot syrup over the hot baklava. For a less sweet version, use only half the syrup.
8. Step
Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top and let the baklava cool completely before serving.
