Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Pistachios
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 60 milliliters Ice water
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a food processor, combine the pistachios and half of the granulated sugar, then pulse until finely ground. Set aside.
To make the pastry, sift together the flour and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water a tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork, until the dough begins to clump together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently into a ball. Flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a bowl, mix the ground pistachios, remaining sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
Roll the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 4-inch squares and place a tablespoon of the pistachio mixture in the center of each square.
Fold the corners of each square into the center, pinching to seal, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg to create an egg wash. Brush over the pastries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
