Guizadas (nut Cakes) – We Love God!

The flesh hates everything about God. Since it resists everything about God, it resists every way we try to taste Him and know Him and love Him. And the more something enables us to find God and feast on Him, the more violently the flesh fights against it. It takes its battle to every quarter of the soul: When the mind wants to know God, the flesh imposes ignorance, darkness, error and trivial thoughts. The will can't move toward God without feeling the weight of stubbornness holding it back. And the affections, longing to long for God, are constantly fighting the infection of sensuality or the disease of indifference.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/3	c	Pistachio nuts, shelled
		unsalted
1	c	Superfine sugar
1 1/2	T	Orange blossom water
2		Eggs
2		Egg yolks

INSTRUCTIONS

Coarsely grind the pistachios (almonds may be substituted) in a food
processor.  Add the rest of the ingredients and blend quickly and
well. The idea is to avoid mincing the nuts:  the more texture the
better for these sweets. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Drop a
heaping tablespoon of the mixture into paper candy cups and bake for
25 minutes, until slightly firm.  Recipe by: Claudia Roden Posted to
