Cooking Preparation
Preparation Guide
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the soaked saffron along with the milk and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well to combine.
-
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until it comes together.
-
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a 1/4-inch thick sheet using a rolling pin.
-
Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes from the dough. Place the cut-out biscuits onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
-
Optionally, garnish the biscuits with sliced almonds or pistachios, pressing them gently onto the surface.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
-
Bake the saffron biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
-
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking tray for a few minutes.
-
Transfer the cooled saffron biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve the saffron biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy their delicate flavor and aroma.
Chef's Tips

Ensure that the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
-
Adjust the quantity of saffron according to your preference for color and flavor intensity.
-
Be careful not to overmix the dough to prevent the biscuits from becoming tough.
-
You can store the saffron biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
