Method
In a large bowl, mix the roasted chickpea flour with the icing sugar and baking powder.
Gradually add the warm melted smen and knead by hand until you have a smooth, cohesive dough.
Add the egg and vanilla and knead again until completely even (you can let the dough rest for 15 minutes).
Shape into small walnut-sized balls and space them out on a tray lined with baking paper; press an almond or pistachio into the centre of each.
Bake in an oven preheated to 150 °C for just 15–18 minutes, without letting them colour much: they should stay pale and melt in the mouth once completely cool.
