Ingredients

Servings

Batter:

  • 1/2 cup oil or ghee
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar 150 grams
  • 1/4 cup rose water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons honey 30 milliliters
  • 3 egg room temperature, large
  • 1/2 cup PLAIN yogurt whole
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cardamom
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour unbleached

Decoration:

  • 1/4 cup pistachios ground

Instructions

  1. Place the oven rack in the center and preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line 2 muffin pans (capable of holding 12 muffins each) with paper cups.

To make the batter:

  1. In the mixing bowl of a electric mixer, blend the oil, sugar, rose water, vanilla, and honey. While mixer is running, add the eggs one by one. Add the yogurt and continue to blend until creamy.
  2. On a piece of parchment paper, sift together the baking soda, baking powder, salt, cardamom, and the flour, and gradually add it to the egg mixture. Blend- do not over-mix.
  3. Pour the batter into lined molds, leaving 1/4 inch (6 millimeters) on top. Decorate each cupcake with some ground pistachios.
  4. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and a tester comes out clean.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and allow to cool completely before serving. Store in airtight glass containers. Nush-e joon!

Notes

  • Optional: add 1/4 teaspoon ground saffron to the rose water before mixing into the batter.
