Here is my pistachio nut pastry recipe.

This pastry recipe can be used in addition to any sweet recipe you desire.

My pistachio nut pastry recipe is lovely and soft textured with a crisp edge, the colour looks golden brown with a hint of the pistachio colour coming through.

With a smooth nutty taste and delicious biscuit flavour this pistachio nut pastry recipe is well worth being part of any pastry collection.

In a mixing bowl place plain flour, sugar, salt and ground pistachio nuts.

Mix well.

Take the half cup of margarine and place into the mixing bowl with dry ingredients.

Rub the margarine into the dry pastry mixture using your fingers.

Rub the pistachio nut pastry mixture until it resembles bread crumbs.
