Put ½ cup pistachios in a small frying pan on medium heat to toast/dry roast for 4 or 5 minutes.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Roll out 1 cup Puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) into a circle about 8 inches (20 cm) diameter.

Lay a sheet of cooking parchment on a baking sheet and sprinkle with brown sugar.

Lay the pastry circle on top. This will give the pastry a lovely caramelized underside.

Remarks
Finishing the baking on a wire rack in stage 10 is not essential, but will give you the really crisp base that is often tricky to achieve with puff pastry.
Keeping
Should be eaten the same day.
