Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4. Butter the bottom and sides of a 23x33cm baking dish.
Boil Tate & Lyle Golden Caster sugar and water until sugar is dissolved. Add Lyle’s Golden Syrup and lemon peel.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside to cool (for a minimum of 2 hours).
Add nuts and cinnamon to a bowl, mix well and set aside (Reserve 30g pistachio nuts to sprinkle on top).
Unroll the filo pastry and trim to fit the baking dish.
Cover the remaining filo pastry with a damp tea towel to keep it from drying out.
Line the bottom of the baking dish with two sheets of filo and brush top layer with the melted butter.
Repeat until you have 6 sheets of pastry layered.
Sprinkle over 3-4 tablespoons of chopped nuts. Top with a further two sheets of filo and butter. Repeat twice more.
Place another two sheets on top and butter, then place the final two sheets and butter once again.
Using a sharp knife, cut into diamond or square shapes all the way to the bottom of the dish. Bake for about 40 minutes or until Baklava is golden and crisp.
Remove Baklava from oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup sauce over it (with the lemon peel removed).
Leave to cool uncovered.
