Ingredients
For the Doughnuts
- 1 Cup Plain flour
- 1/2 Cup Caster sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp Rose Water
- Pinch Salt
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
For the Glaze
- 1/2 Cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Rose Water
- 1-2 tsp Water
Method
For the Doughnuts
- Pre-heat oven to 170C degrees and lightly grease the doughnut pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon (and salt).
- Add milk, egg, rosewater and melted butter and stir until well combined.
- Use a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off) to pipe the batter into a 6-doughnut pan. Or just be extra neat and do this with a spoon which is what I did.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until doughnuts spring back when touched or until dough is set. Doughnuts will not be golden brown, but should be springy.
- Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan.
For the Glaze
- While the doughnuts are baking or cooling, make the glaze by combining powdered sugar, rose water, and liquid of your choice.
- Add the water or milk, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
- Dip the doughnuts into the glaze. Pull them up and twist slightly to catch the glaze on the top of the doughnut.
- Allow the glaze to set and dip a second time.
- Before the glaze becomes dry, sprinkle with rose petals.
