Ingredients

Directions

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

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

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.

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

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