Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a doughnut pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined. Do not overmix! Gently fold in the chopped pistachios.
- Fill the Doughnut Pan
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake
- Bake the doughnuts for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and rose water until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk (for a thinner glaze) or powdered sugar (for a thicker glaze).
- Glaze and Garnish
- Dip the top of each cooled doughnut into the glaze, letting the excess drip off. Sprinkle immediately with crushed pistachios.
- Let the Glaze Set
- Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
