Title:
Guizadas (Nut Cakes)

Yield:
24 Servings

Categories:
Cakes,
Passover




Ingredients:





 2 1/3 c  Pistachio nuts, shelled,


          -unsalted


     1 c  Superfine sugar


 1 1/2 tb Orange blossom water


     2    Eggs


     2    Egg yolks






 1. Coarsely grind the pistachios (almonds may be substituted) in a food


 processor.  Add the rest of the ingredients and blend quickly and well. The


 idea is to avoid mincing the nuts:  the more texture the better for these


 sweets.


 


 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the


 mixture into paper candy cups and bake for 25 minutes, until slightly firm.
