Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups organic white spelt flour
  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/4 cup cold ghee plus extra for brushing
  • 3/4 cup grass-fed whole milk or almond milk
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 tablespoon pistachio paste for natural flavor and color
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 1/4 cup finely ground pistachios plus whole pistachios for garnish

For the Glaze:

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the spelt flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom.
  • Cut in the cold ghee using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the milk, maple syrup, and pistachio paste until just combined to form a soft dough. Fold in the ground pistachios gently.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times. Roll out to about 1 inch thick.
  • Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden.
  • While the biscuits bake, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, pistachio paste, and milk until smooth and spreadable.
  • Once the biscuits are done, let them cool slightly, then brush with the pistachio glaze and garnish with whole pistachios.
  • Optionally, for added elegance, dust with a light sprinkle of culinary-grade gold leaf.
  • Serve these Cardamom and Pistachio Biscuits as part of a sophisticated afternoon tea or as an elegant breakfast option.
