Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a clean, dry bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Soft peaks are achieved when the egg whites are foamy and hold their shape but tip over slightly when the beaters are lifted.
- Gradually add the sugar to the whipped egg whites, continuing to beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Stiff peaks hold their shape firmly and stand straight up when the beaters are lifted.
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter gently until fully liquefied. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the next step.
- Gently fold the melted butter and vanilla extract into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula to fold in the mixture to maintain the airy texture.
- Sift the all-purpose flour over the mixture and gently fold it in until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roughly chop the pistachio nuts into small pieces, then fold them into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop small amounts of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the wafers are golden brown and the centers set.
- Remove the wafers from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Transfer the cooled wafers to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, the pistachio wafers are ready to be served. Enjoy them as a light, crispy snack or pair them with tea or coffee.
Tips:
- Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for better whipping.
- Sift the flour to prevent clumps in your batter.
- Use a piping bag for more uniformly sized wafers.
- Chop pistachios finely to ensure even distribution in each wafer.
- Keep a close eye on baking time to avoid over-browning.
- Let the wafers cool completely on a wire rack for a crisp texture.
Enjoy your homemade Pistachio Wafers, a delightful treat perfect for sharing or savoring on your own. With a few simple steps and these handy tips, you've created a delicious snack that's sure to impress. Happy baking!
