Instructions
Creating Rose and Pistachio Cupcakes is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir in the rose water and chopped pistachios until just combined.
6. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cupcakes: Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the tray for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare Frosting: In a medium bowl, mix powdered sugar with rose water until smooth and creamy.
10. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the rose water frosting and sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top for garnish.
