frankie fodder: pistachio and rose tea cakes
Make your next morning tea extra-delicious with these tiny tea cakes, glazed with rosewater and sprinkled with edible flowers.
Spring has sprung! Which means it’s the perfect time to bake some of these super-cute pistachio tea cakes. No fancy tins are needed here – just turn the cakes upside down after baking in a regular muffin tin. Then add a smear of fragrant rosewater glaze and a sprinkle of edible flowers, and you’re all set to sit and enjoy them with a cup of tea in the warm spring sunshine.
