Sorry, no baklava for me but I really miss kunefe and I cannot buy that here. I am not very good in baking things, so making it by myself is not really an option.

Instructions:
Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Boil gently for 5 minutes. Add lemon juice; stir. Boil for 1 minute. Set aside. Sift flour in a large bowl. Make a hole in center. Add eggs, oil, salt, lemon juice and water. Blend well. Make a medium stiff dough. Knead for 5 minutes or until smooth. Let stand covered for 5 minutes. Roll and cut dough into 20 pieces. Shape into balls. Cover balls with napkin. Roll each ball out as thin as tissue paper with rolling pin (or a smooth long stick 1 1/2 cm (3/4 inch) in diameter if available). Sprinkle with starch each time while rolling. Pack flrst 10 rolled sheets on top of another sprinkling with starch between sheets. Set aside. Repeat the same with the remaining balls. Place first pack in an ungreased round baking pan 38-40 cm (16 inch) in diameter, 5 cm (2 inch) deep, one by one. Brush off starch while spreading sheets (if same size baking pan is not available use any other, but trim pastry layers to fit into your pan). Spread crushed pistachionuts over pastries. Place other half in the same manner. Trim overhanging edges with a knife to fit layers into baking pan. Use trimmed layers evenly. Cut layered pastries into 4-5 cm (1 1/2-2 inch) squares or diamonds (or oblongs or triangles) with a French knife. Pour heated butter over pastry. Bake in a moderate oven for 50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Pour cold syrup over hot pastries. Cover and cool. Serve.
