Ingredients
Scale
1 (14 ounce) package puff pastry dough, thawed
1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely ground
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine ground pistachios, powdered sugar, and softened butter. Mix until well combined.
Unroll the puff pastry dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 rectangles.
Spread a thin layer of the pistachio mixture over half of each pastry rectangle.
Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a square. Press the edges to seal.
Cut each square into two triangles.
Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a richer pistachio flavor, you can toast the pistachios lightly before grinding them.
These croissants are best served warm.
Store leftover croissants in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
