Rukmini Iyer’s Rose & Pistachio Cupcakes

Introduction

These taste as good as they look: a variation on the blackberry pistachio cake in The Quick Roasting Tin, these cupcakes are very lightly flavoured with rose water. Go gently, as it can be a strong flavouring – you want a very light hint of rose here.

Ingredients

shelled pistachios
softened unsalted butter
caster sugar
medium free-range eggs
gluten-free plain flour (or ordinary plain flour if not making gluten-free)
baking powder
milk
rose water
For the icing:
icing sugar
water
green food colouring
dried rose petals or gluten-free wafer roses, to decorate
