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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the pistachios and half of the granulated sugar, then pulse until finely ground. Set aside.

Step 3

To make the pastry, sift together the flour and salt in a large bowl.

Step 4

Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Add ice water a tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork, until the dough begins to clump together.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

In a bowl, mix the ground pistachios, remaining sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.

Step 8

Roll the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 9

Cut the dough into 4-inch squares and place a tablespoon of the pistachio mixture in the center of each square.

Step 10

Fold the corners of each square into the center, pinching to seal, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg to create an egg wash. Brush over the pastries.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 13

Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature.
