Instructions

Dry-toast the flour in a large pan over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring, until golden.
Add the butter and mix until you get a smooth paste, then cook for 5 minutes.
In a saucepan, heat the sugar, water and lemon juice until you reach a syrup at 120 °C.
Pour the hot syrup over the flour mixture and stir vigorously to form a uniform dough.
Let the dough cool slightly, then work it by hand until it becomes supple and glossy.
Stretch the dough between your hands or over two oiled sticks, passing it back and forth to form fine strands.
Fold the strands into small bundles, sprinkle with pistachios and let cool before tasting.
