Guizadas (nut cakes)
24 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2⅓ | cup | Pistachio nuts, shelled, unsalted |
| 1 | cup | Superfine sugar |
| 1½ | tablespoon | Orange blossom water |
| 2 | Eggs | |
| 2 | Egg yolks | |
Directions
1. Coarsely grind the pistachios (almonds may be substituted) in a food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend quickly and well. The idea is to avoid mincing the nuts: the more texture the better for these sweets.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into paper candy cups and bake for 25 minutes, until slightly firm.
