To make the syrup allow the sugar to caramelise in a large frying pan set over a moderate heat. Add 50 ml water and the lemon juice. Add the saffron threads and allow to simmer until a fine syrup is formed.

To make the filling mix the pistachios, sugar and the cardamom. Stir into a spreadable paste by adding approx. 6 tbsp water.

Dip the pastry into the saffron syrup and leave to dry on a wire rack before serving.
