Make the Pastry Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Assemble the Pastries
Place a spoonful of the pistachio filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
