Maamoul BiFistok (Pistachio Maamoul) I owe a great debt to my husband "Ramzi" who insisted that there should be a maamoul recipe that tastes just like the store-bought maamoul. The homemade maamoul tastes so good,but he personally loves the store-bought variety and believes that maamoul made from scratch has a different crumble texture!! Maamoul fillings can include dates, walnuts, pistachio, or a combination of both or other nuts.
