Separate the shredded pastry strands.
Work the melted butter thoroughly through the strands.
Press the pastry into the tray with walnuts.
Boil the sugar and water syrup for 12 minutes, then add lemon.
Bake at 180 C for 40 minutes.
Once the first heat passes, pour over the cold syrup and wait 2 hours.
💡 Tip: Use cold syrup on hot baked shredded pastry so the dessert absorbs it without turning doughy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with clotted cream.
