Description
Pistachio butter makes this recipe a breeze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp ghee + enough to grease your plate
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 oz pistachio butter
- 1/3 cup milk powder
- 1/2 tsp crushed cardamom powder
- Edible gold or silver foil
Instructions
- First, use a little ghee to grease a flat plate or tray and set aside.
- Next, heat a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Combine the water and sugar in the pan, stirring to dissolve. Continue heating the sugar water and stirring until the syrup becomes tacky and reaches a one-string consistency.
- At that stage, lower the heat and stir in the pistachio butter quickly followed by the milk powder and cardamom powder. Place in the ghee and stir to combine everything; it will form a ball which you will quickly have to place on your greased plate.
- Use the back of your spoon to flatten onto the plate. Work quickly as it will harden as it cools. Use your hands to press after you initially flatten with the spoon. Be careful as it will be hot. Once it is an even ¼-inch thick, let it cool and set for 2 hours.
- Use a sharp knife and grease the blade with ghee before carefully slicing into diamond shapes, greasing your blade between each cut. Decorate with gold or silver foil and serve.
