Recipe


1. Boil the sugar and water together until
the sugar is dissolved, then add the rosewater and saffron. Remove from
heat but keep warm.

2. Melt butter in a pan and gradually stir
in the flour to a smooth paste. Cook over a low heat until golden in colour.

3. Over a very low heat, slowly add the
syrup to blend into a smooth paste. Remove from heat immediately.

4. While still warm, spread on to a plate
and press down with the back of a dessertspoon, making a pattern with the
spoon.

5. Serve cold, cut into small wedges, accompanied
by toast and tea.
