For the sugar syrup, combine the sugar with the water and bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, add 4-5 drops of lemon juice and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes. For the dough, mix all the ingredients together and prepare a dough. Small balls are formed from the dough, filled with walnuts and brushed with egg yolk. Then bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden brown. Let the pastries cool for about five minutes and pour the lukewarm syrup over them. Finally, garnish with ground pistachios.
