Honey and pistachio wafers
When I want to impress my guests but I do not have enough time to prepare something fancy, I always turn to a Donna Hay recipe: they are quick, perfect for every occasion and always a hit! this recipe is from the n.31 of the Donna Hay Magazine.
Those honey and pistachio wafers are wonderful with gelato or ice-cream! And I strongly recommend you use the Orange blossom honey: so velvety and subtle!
50 g of butter
2 tablespoons of honey
175 g of brown sugar
50 g of plain flour
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 egg whites
30 g of chopped pistachio
Gelato or ice-cream of your choice
Preheat the oven at 180° C.
Melt the butter with the honey over medium heat.
Whisk it with flour, sugar, vanilla extract and the egg whites until smooth.
Draw 7 cm circles on a greaseproof paper that you placed over a baking tray. Add in the middle of every circle a teaspoon of the mixture. Spread it inside the circles with the back of the teaspoon. Cover it with the chopped pistachio and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden.
Let the wafers cool on the baking tray.
Once cool, sandwich them with ice-cream or gelato.
