Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Spread pistachios on a small rimmed baking sheet; toast, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, 6-8 minutes.
  3. Let cool, then coarsely chop; set aside.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk egg, milk, flour, cornmeal, sugar, vanilla, salt, and 1/4 cup cream in a medium bowl until smooth.
