– 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
Creating Pistachio Kataifi Croissants is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Kataifi: Gently separate the strands of kataifi pastry to ensure they are loose and not clumped together.
3. Make Filling: In a bowl, combine chopped pistachios, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
4. Melt Butter: In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
5. Assemble Croissants: Take a small handful of kataifi pastry and spread it out. Drizzle with melted butter mixture. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the pistachio filling at one end and roll it tightly into a croissant shape.
6. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the formed croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
7. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg to give them a golden color while baking.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the croissants to cool on a wire rack for about 15-20 minutes.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the cooled croissants with powdered sugar before serving.
Following these steps will result in flaky, delicious Pistachio Kataifi Croissants that are sure to impress!
