Directions

Butter an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan.

Put the sugar, water, and cardamom into a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Boil until thick syrup forms a thread when pinched between thumb and forefinger, about 15 minutes. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Melt the butter in a large skillet and add the chickpea flour. Cook over medium-low heat until it turns a deep golden brown, about 8 minutes. Stir this mixture into the syrup along with half the pistachios and press into the baking pan. Sprinkle the top with the rest of the pistachios and let set for about 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve.

    This was easy to make and so delightful to eat. I had more than enough for 2 at home so took rest to work and it was enjoyed by all, they had no idea chick pea flour was used. Love it.

    I thought this would make a great gluten free treat. Maybe I did something wrong but it turned out way too sweet. If there was a way to tone down the sweetness it would be pretty good.
