Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 200 g pistachios (shelled)
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 100 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your tartlet pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Grind Pistachios: Using a food processor, pulse the shelled pistachios until they are finely ground, creating a coarse pistachio meal that will add texture and flavor to the tartlets.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a tender crust.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the large egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture, stirring thoroughly until fully combined.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the ground pistachios, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Mix gently until the dough forms and comes together without overworking it.
  6. Shape Tartlets: Divide the dough evenly among the tartlet pan cavities, pressing the dough into each mold and forming a small lip around the edges to hold fillings if desired.
  7. Bake: Place the tartlet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tartlets turn a beautiful golden brown color.
  8. Cool: Remove the tartlets from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before carefully releasing them for serving to ensure they hold their shape.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
  • Do not overwork the dough to keep tartlets tender and flaky.
  • Tartlets can be filled with your choice of custard, jam, or cream once cooled.
  • Use parchment paper liners or grease well to prevent sticking.
  • Store baked tartlets in an airtight container to keep crisp.
