Celebrating Spring & Navroz with Rose & Pistachio Madeleines

March 21, 2017 By Fareen Leave a Comment

I love this time of year – the beginning of Spring…and the start of the Persian New Year.

For all those celebrating, Navroz Mubarak from our family to yours! May this new year bring love, happiness and most of all peace!

I had bought a mini madeleine pan months ago and Navroz seemed like the perfect time to try it out. I knew the flavours I wanted – rose and pistachio – but since I had never made them before, I set out to find a good recipe. I found a rose water one by Martha Stewart and made a few changes and came up with these.

These little morsels were packed with flavour! The rose extract really stood out and the pistachios added the perfect touch. After some experimenting, I discovered that sprinkling the pan with the chopped pistachios before adding the batter added even more oomph to these tiny cakes. These are perfect with a cup of tea and starting out the new year.
