Fluff the kadayif with your hands and separate any long clumps.
Work the melted butter into the kadayif so no dry strands remain.
Press half the kadayif into the tray and spread the pistachios in the middle.
Boil water and sugar for 12 minutes and let the syrup cool to warm.
Bake the kadayif in a 190°C oven for 25 minutes until browned.
Pour warm syrup over the kadayif once the first heat has passed and wait for it to absorb.
When the pistachio surface shines, serve in square slices so the syrup does not run.
💡 Tip: Work butter through every strand so the kadayif browns evenly in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Cut into squares and serve with the pistachio layer facing up.
