Steps to Prepare Simple Khagineh

1. Mix the dry ingredients: Combine the flour, milk, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.

2. Add eggs: Beat the eggs into the mixture and mix well. If any lumps remain, strain the mixture.

3. Add saffron: Pour in the brewed saffron and mix thoroughly.

4. Heat the oil: In a 30 cm (12-inch) pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

5. Cook the mixture: Pour the batter into the pan, cover it with a lid, and let it cook for 1 minute.

6. Cut and flip: Cut the Khagineh into pieces in the pan and flip them to fry both sides until golden brown.

How to Prepare the Syrup

1. Heat the sugar and water: In a saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

2. Add saffron: After a couple of boils, remove from heat and add the brewed saffron.

3. Add rose water: Stir in the rose water for extra aroma.

4. Pour over Khagineh: Drizzle the syrup over the fried Khagineh pieces and let it absorb the syrup.

Final Touch

• Sprinkle cinnamon and chopped walnuts on top for extra flavor.

• Store Khagineh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.

Chef’s Tip

• You can replace milk with sweet yogurt in the same quantity for a slightly tangier yogurt-based Khagineh.
