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.
