INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥚 4 large eggs
    • 1 ¼ cups white sugar
    • 1 ½ cups butter, melted
    • 1 cup plain yogurt
    • 1 tablespoon rose water

  • Spices and Nuts

    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom
    • ½ cup blanched slivered almonds
    • 1 ½ tablespoons chopped pistachio nuts

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 24-cup muffin pan.

2

Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl; set aside.

3

Combine eggs and sugar in a large heatproof bowl; set on top of a pan of simmering water. Beat constantly with a whisk or electric mixer until thick and pale yellow, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and continue to beat until cooled, about 10 minutes.

4

Mix in melted butter, yogurt, rose water, and cardamom. Stir in the flour mixture by hand. Fold in the slivered almonds. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them 3/4 full. Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the tops.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until firm to the touch and golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
