Making these delicious Pistachio Orange Pastries is easier than you might think! Follow these steps to create your own pastries:

1. Prepare the Pistachio Filling: In a food processor, combine the shelled pistachios, granulated sugar, orange zest, orange juice, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture becomes a smooth paste.

2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Roll out the Puff Pastry: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to about 1/8 inch thickness.

4. Cut the Pastry: Cut the rolled-out pastry into squares or rectangles, roughly 4 inches in size.

5. Add the Filling: Place a tablespoon of the pistachio filling in the center of each pastry square.

6. Fold the Pastries: Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a sealed pocket. Pinch the edges to ensure they are well-sealed.

7. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.

8. Bake: Place the pastries onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.

9. Cool: Allow the pastries to cool for about 20-30 minutes on a wire rack.

10. Dust: Just before serving, dust the cooled pastries with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have delicious pistachio orange pastries ready in no time!
