Instructions
Whisk together egg yolks and water in a small bowl.
Combine sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom.
Carefully roll each sheet of puff pastry into a 9 1/2" square on a lightly floured work surface.
Brush each sheet with egg wash, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar mixture.
Sprinkle chopped pistachios evenly over 1 sheet, leaving a 1/4" border; top with remaining sheet, sugared side down. Firmly press edges to seal.
Brush top of pastry with melted butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.
Cut pastry into 3/4"-thick strips, using a pizza cutter. Twist each strip 3 times, and place 2" apart on lightly greased baking sheets.
Bake at 400 for 19 minutes or until golden.
Remove from pans immediately, and cool on wire racks.
Note: To reheat pastry twists, bake at 450 for 5 minutes or just until heated. Cool. (As they cool, they crisp up.)
