Boil the sugar and water, then add lemon juice and cook for 8 minutes into syrup.
Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Cut the kadayif into short pieces with a knife.
Melt the butter in a pan and toast the kadayif for 8 minutes without browning.
Add most of the pistachio to the pan and stir for 2 minutes.
Add the syrup in three additions, letting the kadayif absorb it.
When the dessert thickens, serve with kaymak and the remaining pistachio.
💡 Tip: Adding the syrup gradually keeps the shredded pastry from turning doughy all at once.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with kaymak and extra pistachio.
