How to prepare

Combine the entire ingredients together, except the pistachio and sugar syrup, to make soft dough and keep aside for 20 minutes.
Make small balls with the dough. Press each ball with your hands to form an oval shape; place a piece of pistachio in the middle and press it.
Bake using a non-stick tray at 200 °C for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden in color. Remove from the oven and pour over the hot syrup to cover all the pieces. Keep the syrup for 3 minutes and then remove it by tilting the tray; make sure to remove all the syrup.
