Directions

  1. To make a honey syrup: combine the jasmine, saffron-infused sugar, and water, then gently heat until the mixture thickens slightly.
  2. We mix one-half cup of bread flour with one-half cup of all-purpose flour, then we sift the mixture three times. ≈ 3 min
  3. Heat the sifted flour in a pan until it loses its fresh scent.
  4. (Please note: the flour’s color should not change during cooking) Next, we gradually add oil paint or butter. ≈ 3 min
  5. Once the flour has turned a golden color, it should be immediately removed from the heat. ≈ 3 min
  6. Next, we slowly add the syrup from the first step to the flour. ≈ 3 min
  7. While adding the syrup, it is essential to vigorously stir the dough in a circular motion with a spoon to prevent it from sticking. ≈ 4 min
  8. Finally, place the container over low heat for two minutes. ≈ 3 min
