PISTACHIO BIRD'S NESTS
This whimsical version of baklava is shaped to resemble a bird's nest. Boston pastry chef Maura Kilpatrick has a genius trick for making the delicate nests by wrapping phyllo around a wooden dowel (available at hardware stores). Bake until golden, fill with pistachios, then drench in lemon syrup for a sweet, crunchy, sticky holiday treat.

Steps:
- Lemon syrup: Combine the sugar, water, lemon juice, and zest in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat to dissolve the sugar. Lower the heat to medium and keep at a low boil until thickened, 15 minutes.
- Clarify butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and bring to a simmer, 5-7 minutes. Once the white foam begins to form on the top, skim it off with a small ladle or spoon and discard. Continue to skim off the milk solids until the butter is clear. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Nests: Before assembling the nests, set up your work area. Lay the phyllo sheets on the work surface and cover with a dry towel or a sheet of parchment (to prevent drying). Place a sheet of parchment paper in front of you to work on, and have a baking sheet nearby. Place one sheet of phyllo on the parchment paper with the shorter side facing you. Lightly brush clarified butter across the top, in the center, and across the bottom. Fold the edge of the phyllo closest to you up to within 1 inch of the top edge. Place the wooden dowel on the bottom folded edge, with the end of the dowel meeting the left edge of the phyllo, and begin to loosely roll the phyllo around the dowel, stopping when you reach the inch of extra dough. Lift the dowel and gently push the phyllo to the left end, scrunching the dough together. Slide it off the dowel, and gently shape it into a circle, with the reserved inch of phyllo serving as the center of the nest. Place nest on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining sheets of phyllo. Bake until lightly golden, 15 minutes.
- Assembly: Remove from the oven and fill the centers of each nest with about 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios. Use a small measuring cup or ladle to soak each nest with 3 tablespoons of lemon syrup. Set aside to cool on the baking sheet. Once cool, use a spatula to remove the nests from the pan. Serve at room temperature with some of the extra syrup from the baking sheet.

Steps:
- Soak the pistachios in water for 30 mins. Dissolve the sugar in 500ml water in a pan over a medium heat, then bring to a boil and bubble for 15-20 mins or until reduced and lightly syrupy. Stir in the lemon and boil for a minute more.
- Cover the kataifi with a damp cloth so it doesn't dry out. Take a finely twisted 30cm length of pastry and wrap it in a circular motion around two fingers into a nest shape. Transfer to a baking tray, then repeat with the rest of the pastry.
- Drain the pistachios and gently press four or five into the middle of each nest. Cover the nests with a layer of baking parchment, then put another baking tray on top and put a 1kg weight on top. Leave at room temperature for 1 hr, then remove the parchment and leave for another hour to dry out.
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Pour the butter over and around the nests, so that they're sitting in a layer of melted butter. Cook for 20-25 mins until golden brown, turning the tray from time to time to make sure the nests are evenly coloured. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then transfer to a clean baking tray and pour over the syrup. Leave to cool completely in the syrup, then serve.

- Make the orange blossom syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Off the heat, add the orange blossom water. Chill the syrup either in the refrigerator if making ahead, or quick chill by immersing the syrup in a glass measuring cup into in an ice bath.
- Clarify the butter by melting it over low heat until completely melted. Pour the clarified butter off into a bowl, leaving the butter solids behind.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Set up the work station with one sheet of parchment paper, a 1/4-inch x 13" dowel, the clarified butter and a pastry brush, and two unlined sheet pans.
- Just before beginning, open the room temperature phyllo. Open one of the sleeves and lay the phyllo out next to your work station. Cover the phyllo with a sheet of plastic, a damp towel and then another dry towel over that. Keep the phyllo as protected as possible as you work.
