Ingredients
- 1 pound powdered whole milk
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 4 ounce sugar

Sift the powdered milk. Gradually mix in the water, bring to the boil and cook over a moderate heat, stirring continuously, until reduced to a very thick paste. Make a thick syrup with the sugar and a little water, and add to the creamed milk. Add ground pistachios and stir thoroughly. Cook again until it is a thick paste.
