Ingredients

100 g
Unsalted Butter (melted)
85 g
Flour
1.5 tbsp
Pistachio (nut)
8.33 Piece
Orange peel (crystallised or candied)
100 g
Granulated Sugar
1 Large
Raw egg (separated)
1 Large
Egg White
1 tbsp
Orange Blossom Water
1 tsp
Powdered sugar

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease 16 madeleine molds or tartlet tins. Sift light dusting of flour over.
  2. Place the pistachios into a food processor or mini chopper and grind until fairly fine but with a little texture. Finely cut the orange peel (not needed if they are ready-cut).
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, pistachios, orange peel, and sugar together. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, egg yolk, and orange blossom water together with a fork.
  4. In a clean bowl, whisk the 2 egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Fold the butter mixture into the dry components, then use the whisk to fold in the egg whites.
  5. Spoon the mixture carefully into the prepared molds. Bake until golden and firm to the touch for 12-15 minutes. Cool for a few minutes, then turn on a wire rack and leave to fully cool. For serving, dust with powdered sugar. Serve.
