Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup pistachio meal
- 1/4 cup rose water
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pistachios
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, confectioners' sugar, and baking powder.
- Add the melted butter, pistachio meal, rose water, and salt to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten slightly into a disk shape.
- Place a tablespoon of chopped pistachios in the center of each disk. Fold the dough over the pistachios to form a triangle or a ball shape. Seal the edges with the beaten egg.
- Brush the tops with the orange blossom water and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Allow the ma'amoul to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
