Originally a recipe from the 1960's that was meant to be served with drinks for a St. Patrick's day celebration. Personally, I think these are good for any occasion!

Ingredients

  • 1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed

  • 1 egg white, beaten

  • ⅓ cup finely chopped shelled pistachios

  • kosher salt to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Unfold the sheets of puff pastry, and brush tops with egg white. Sprinkle pistachios and salt over the egg white wash; flip the sheets, brush with egg white, and sprinkle with pistachios and salt. With a sharp knife, cut pastry into 3-inch long strips, about 3/4 inch wide. Twist the strips twice, then arrange on the prepared baking sheets so they don't touch.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

Cook's Note

If you prefer to use pie crust instead of the puff pastry, bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
