Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios

  4. Press dough evenly into a 9 inch tart pan and chill for 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Use rose water sparingly to avoid overpowering the flavor.
  • Chill the crust to prevent shrinking during baking.
  • Allow tart to cool fully for clean slices.
