Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line 6 mini muffin cups with silicone molds or parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- Add softened butter, then sugar. Beat until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add pistachio paste and mix until evenly combined.
- Blend in egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Divide batter equally among prepared molds. Fill 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- Bake on oven's middle rack for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden but centers still jiggling.
- Cool in molds for 5 minutes then transfer to wire rack. Garnish with pistachio slivers before serving.
Notes
Use high-quality pistachio paste for intense flavor (avoid pre-ground in-store mixes). For vegan version, substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives. Best served warm from oven. Leftovers keep in airtight container for 2-3 days.
