      • 3\/4 cup of granulated white sugar<\/li>
      • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch<\/li>
      • 1\/4 teaspoon of salt<\/li>
      • 1\/2 cup of unsalted butter (at room temperature)<\/li>
      • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract<\/li>
      • 1\/2 to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon<\/li>
      • 2 large eggs<\/li>
      • 2 tablespoons of heavy cream<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
        \n\t\t

        **Making the Simple Syrup:**<\/h4>
        1. In a pot over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, and orange blossom water.<\/li>
        2. Bring the mixture to a boil until the sugar is completely dissolved, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.<\/li>
        3. Transfer the syrup to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature until it thickens.<\/li><\/ol>

          **Preparing the Pistachio Filling:**<\/h4>
          1. In a bowl, mix together the pistachio flour, sugar, cornstarch, salt, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and heavy cream.<\/li>
          2. Beat the mixture until it’s light and fluffy using a stand or hand mixer.<\/li><\/ol>

            **Assembly and Baking:**<\/h4>
            1. Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/li>
            2. Slice the croissants in half to open them up.<\/li>
            3. Generously soak both sides of the croissants in the simple syrup.<\/li>
            4. Spread the pistachio filling evenly across the inside of each croissant and then close them.<\/li>
            5. Add a line of pistachio filling on top of each croissant and sprinkle chopped pistachios.<\/li>
            6. Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until they’re crispy all around.<\/li>
            7. Let them cool for 15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
              \n\t\t

              You can make pistachio flour by blending raw or roasted pistachios in a food processor until they resemble sand. Be careful not to over-blend, or they might turn into a paste.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
