Preparation

Make a pyramid with the flour, opening a cavity in the center, where you put the salt, the 2 eggs and the butter. Mix spitefully with the tips of your fingers, smashing the rose water and kneading until you no longer touch your hands. Tear the dough 2 times, roll it into a ball, and cover it with a damp linen cloth, leaving it for ½ hour. Prepare the filling by grinding the nuts and pistachios. Mix sugar. Open the dough and line it with a «pyrex» leaving the center open to add the powdered filling (nuts and pistachios) and then cover with the layer of dough. Brush with 1 egg yolk and 100 grams of melted butter and bake for 45 minutes. Prepare a thick syrup with 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of rose water, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 2 cups of tea. When the syrup has cooled, add a spoon (coffee) of vanilla and pour over the baked pie. Garnish with dates and serve cold, broken into lozenges.
