Toast the kadayif
Chop the kadayif finely and toast it with the butter in a wide pan.
Add the pistachios
When the kadayif turns pale golden, before it browns, add the ground pistachios and toast for 1-2 more minutes.
Stir in the syrup
Before taking the pan off the heat, pour in the hot syrup and stir.
Serve with kaymak
Once it reaches a soft, halva-like consistency, spoon it onto plates and serve topped with kaymak (Turkish clotted cream).
Time's up! Enjoy your meal.
