Some Eid tables simply must have their platter of baklava, and this is a simple and quick baklava recipe the comes together in a cinch and has huge pay-off in flavor. Three types of pistachio are used in the forms of slivers, powder, and paste. The paste is truly what brings it all together. Add some floral water and crispy butter fillo pastry and you are set to go.
