About the Recipe
It is not a heavy pistachio flavour; we're not talking pistachio ice cream or pudding. This is more of a true pistachio nut flavor: not overpowering.Extremely moreish!
Ingredients
35g shelled, Pistachio NutsÂ
80g strong Plain Flour
80g unsalted Butter, dicedÂ
80g freshly grated ParmesanÂ
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
Sea Salt & freshly Ground Black Pepper
Preparation
Start by chopping the pistachio nuts in a mini chopper quite small
Then mix them with all the remaining ingredients in a medium-sized bowl
Rub the ingredients together until the mixture starts to form fairly large clumps, then press the mixture against the side of the bowl to bring it together
Now transfer the dough to a board and knead lightly, then roll into a sausage shape about 18cm long and wrap and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes
Preheat the oven to 180°C
After that slice the chilled log into discs about 5mm wide and spread them out on the baking sheet
Then pop them in the oven on the centre shelf and bake for 13–15 minutes, until they start to go golden around the edges
When they are cooked, transfer them to a wire rack to cool and store in an airtight tin
