Guizadas (Nut Cakes)

Courses: Dessert
Serves: 24 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 1/3 cups 552mlPistachio nuts - shelled, unsalted
1 cup 198g / 7ozSuperfine sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons 22mlOrange blossom water
2   Eggs
2   Egg yolks

Recipe Instructions

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 350F. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into paper candy cups and bake for 25 minutes, until slightly firm.
