    Ingredients

    • 1 heaping cup raw pistachios 175g/a little more than 6oz
    • ¼ cup honey liquid measure - use rice syrup for vegan option
    • 2 pinches cooking/kosher salt optional

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat oven to 165C (330F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
    • Melt the honey to a liquid if it's not in liquid form - don't let it boil, gentle heat is ideal. Ensure the measurement after melting is correct. Let the honey cool.
    • Place the pistachios in the food processor. Pulse for 20 seconds on and off until broken down in to small pieces. Remove 1 heaped tablespoon from the mixing bowl and set aside.
    • Continue to process the remaining pistachios until a flour or meal is formed. Be careful to avoid turning the pistachios in to butter. A somewhat coarse texture is good.
    • Place the pistachio flour into a mixing bowl, pour the honey in and mix until well combined.
    • Use a tablespoon to scoop out amounts for each biscuit. Shape in to a round biscuit shape and place on the lined tray. You may want to keep a large bowl of warm water on the bench to rinse hand or spray your hands with some oil. Repeat until the mixture is used up. Use the pistachio pieces that were set aside to gently press in to the top of each biscuit.
    • Bake for 8 minutes, then turn the tray and bake for another 2-4 minutes, ensuring the biscuits are lightly brown on the edges. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Cool on the baking tray/sheet.
    • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze.
