Baklava with Pistachio

Crispy layers of phyllo filled with crushed pistachios, soaked through with a rose water and honey syrup. Pouring the warm syrup over the baklava the moment it comes out of the oven, while both are hot, is what lets it soak all the way through the layers rather than pooling on top.
