Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a doughnut pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk until just combined. Fold in chopped pistachios.
5. Spoon doughnut batter into the prepared pan, filling each section about two-thirds full.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
7. To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and rose water until smooth.
8. Dip the top of each cooled doughnut into the glaze, letting the excess drip, and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
9. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Serving Suggestions
These doughnuts pair wonderfully with a cup of hot tea or coffee. For an elegant touch, serve them with a side of fresh berries and clotted cream.
Pro Tips for Success
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for better creaming. Be careful not to overmix the batter to avoid dense doughnuts. When glazing, dip each doughnut quickly to achieve an even coat.
Storing and Reheating
Store leftover doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, warm them in a microwave for about 10 seconds to restore softness.
