I think they would be lovely with some hazelnut meal and A-dizzle and I were talking about trying them with rosewater as well (although you are right, rosewater is sweeter so you need less!). We also had some pistachio sugar left over. Actually it keeps really well and is still in my pantry - we are planning to use it to make some chocolate truffles rolled in pistachio sugar!Keelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821733202271604409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397925661074593934.post-76682866717280194422012-02-22T20:15:52.989+11:002012-02-22T20:15:52.989+11:00i had the pleasure of having these at your dinner ...i had the pleasure of having these at your dinner party and i seriously could not get enough!! So I of course had to make them! I only had 140 gms of almonds, and they were just blanched so i had to blitz them in the food processor so i made up the balance with hazelnut meal, chucked it in the food processor with the almonds and the icing sugar. I added rosewater syrup instead of orange blossom water (as i didn't have any on hand)but half the quantity i would have used if i used orange blossom water as i thought it would be too sweet and made up the rest with plain water. It was so easy to do in the food processor; no need to knead and i just had to roll it in a ball to rest.<br /><br />I probably made them a bit smaller (i made about 20) and i had left over pistachio sugar but I have to admit that i stood in the kitchen and ate a lot of it with a spoon (I am too embarrassed to admit how much - it was delicious!!)<br /><br />They are beyond incredible! I don't think they will last long in my house at all!!<br /><br />The texture of these is wonderful! Biting into the gooey almondy and outside and then into the crunchy pistachio sugar is divine!! The possibilities and combinations you could try with these must be limitless!!Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397925661074593934.post-45595135806429784682012-02-21T22:46:38.209+11:002012-02-21T22:46:38.209+11:00Oh I love the flavours in this dish - gorgeous!
