Beat the sugar and butter in a mixing bowl until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time with a little of the flour until blended.

Sift in the remaining flour and gently stir into the mixture with the rosewater and pistachios, until combined. Add a little milk if needed, to give a soft dropping consistency.
