These rose scented shortbread biscuits studded with pistachios are an elegant afternoon treat. They will keep for up to two days in an air-tight container.
Ingredients Serves: 16
- 125g unsalted butter, softened
- 75g caster sugar
- 175g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 50g pistachio kernels, finely chopped
- 2 tsp Sous Chef crystallised rose petal pieces, crushed in a pestle and mortar, plus extra to serve
- 150g white chocolate, chopped
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan. Line 2 flat baking sheets with greaseproof paper.
- With a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
- Fold through the flour, pistachios and crushed crystallised rose petals.
- Roll out onto a lightly floured surface until about 5mm thick, and cut 6.5cm rounds (you will need to re-roll the remaining pastry to make 16). Transfer to the baking sheets.
- Chill for 30 minutes until firm. Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden. Leave to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Dip half of each biscuit into the chocolate then return to the wire rack.
- Scatter some crystallised rose petals onto the chocolate and leave to cool and set.
