- Preheat the oven to 160°C. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then fold in the coconut and pistachios.
- Add the honey, then roll the mixture into small balls and flatten to make biscuits. Place onto a greased baking tray.
- Stud each biscuit with a blanched pistachio and bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven's temperature to 110°C and bake for a further 20 minutes.
Cook's note: These biscuits are usually made using icing sugar but you can use desiccated coconut instead to make a moreish sugar-free biscuit!
