Steps

1

Melt the butter but don't let it brown.
2

Blend the pistachios in the blender into powder (if they are coarsely blended the baklava filo sheets will not stick together).
3

Line an oblog baking tray of 30x45 cm with butter (you can use a baking tray in the dimensions that you have just make sure that it is relatively large) and spread out half the filo sheets brushing each one with butter.
4

Spread out the pistachios all over the baking tray and cover with the 20 remaining filo sheets brushing one by one with butter.
5

Place the baking tray into the fridge to cool so you can cut the pieces.
6

Cut into small square pieces, sprinkle with a little water so that they don't lift up while baking and bake in a very slow oven at 130-140οC for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
7

Remove from the oven and pour the syrup over it, hot.
8

To make the syrup, boil the sugar, water and glucose syrup for 3 minutes (count 3 minutes from the moment it starts to boil).
