Ingredients

  • 70g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 60g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 150g pistachios, whizzed to a powder, plus extra whole pistachio nuts, to serve
  • 150g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
  • 6 egg whites
  • 2 oranges, zest
  • 100g crème fraîche or Greek yogurt, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C, gas mark 6. Grease a 12-hole muffin tray and dust generously with flour, tapping out the excess. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. Continue to cook for 4-6 minutes, until the butter turns a caramel colour. Take off the heat immediately.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, ground pistachios, sugar, egg whites and ¾ of the orange zest. Fold in the browned butter and a pinch of salt until combined. Divide the mixture between the 12 muffin holes; bake for 10-12 minutes until firm and golden. Leave to cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.

  3. Just before serving, dust with icing sugar, then dollop a little crème fraîche or Greek yogurt on the tops. Scatter over some pistachios and the remaining orange zest before serving.
