Ingredients

4 eggs
100 g sugar
1 packet Bourbon vanilla sugar
100 g wheat flour
60 g starch (e.g., Mondamin)
2 tsp baking powder (scratched off)
250 g dark chocolate couverture
2 tbsp finely chopped pistachio seeds

Instructions

1.
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.
2.
Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar with an electric hand mixer on high speed for 1 minute until pale and creamy.
3.
Sift together the flour, starch and baking powder and fold into the egg mixture using a low speed setting.
4.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip with the batter and pipe small spoon-shaped mounds (not too large, the dough will still rise) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
5.
Melt the chocolate couverture over a bain‑marie, then dip half of each biscuit into the melted chocolate, place on a cooling rack, sprinkle with pistachios and let set.
