This buttery, nutty confection is baked in a round tart pan, then sliced into thin wedges. The recipe yields a lot, but you'll be happy to have leftovers stored in a tin. It's delicious served on its own, with coffee or tea, but perfect accompanied by a scoop of ice cream. If you like, substitute pistachios with pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts.
