- Mix together the flour, icing sugar and salt. Tip in the cubed butter, and rub together until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and combine until a solid ball of dough is formed.
- Work in the pistachios and rose petals. Roll dough into a log, approximately 3cm in diameter and 25cm long. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 2 hours, or up to 5 days if making ahead.
- Preheat the oven to 170 C / Gas 3. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
- Once dough is chilled and solid, remove cling film. Slice into 5mm rounds and place on baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a light golden colour. Cool and store in an airtight container.
