    Rosewater cupcakes make this almond flour recipe smell and taste delightful.  Gluten free and low carb elegance!

    Rosewater has a lovely intense fragrance and makes these cupcakes feel as if they should be served at a summer's tea party.    The rosewater has a strong flavour, so don't go too crazy.   Rosewater is a flavour associated with the Middle East but also Great Britain.   Don't get the British started on their roses or their lawns.   You may be there a while....

    I added the pistachio nuts as a topping as they go lovely with the rose flavour.   I slathered them with a rose butter cream which probably overpowered them so you may want to keep this vanilla if you won't want a rose overkill.  The chief taster did not like these as he does not like the flavour of rose.  His loss, and more for me..!   I think that they were probably too "girly" for him...I should make a more manly batch of cupcakes...whatever that maybe...big, butch muffins with chunks of chocolate and nuts perhaps?

      Just made this as a cake. Stuck to recipe but baked whole batch in a quiche dish lined with butter and baking paper. Baked for 20 mins and it was perfect. Will definitely make again!

        Thanks Lyn! I used to travel to Turkey a lot and loved, loved, loved the Turkish delight I could purchase there. I would always buy lots of boxes for my office and myself! How I miss it! The love of rosewater is definitely something I picked up from the Middle East. Just a hint of it now makes me wistful! Hope you enjoy the cupcakes!
