Pistachio Ma’amoul

“Pistachio ma’amoul” is a traditional Middle Eastern pastry filled with a sweet and nutty pistachio filling. The dough is typically made from a combination of semolina, flour, butter, and sugar, creating a delicate and crumbly texture. The pistachio filling, made with finely ground pistachios, sugar, and sometimes a hint of rose or orange blossom water, adds a rich and distinct flavor. These small, round pastries are often molded into intricate shapes using special wooden molds and are enjoyed as a delightful treat during festive occasions or as a sweet accompaniment to tea or coffee.
