   Sift flour with salt onto a large bowl. In 1 ½ tbsp of milk, dissolve the saffron and set it aside.

2. 2

   The remaining milk should be heated carefully in a pot and the sugar should be dissolved in it. Allow the warmed milk to cool.

3. 3

   After making a well in the flour, pour in the now cooler milk and mix together until a soft dough is formed.

4. 4

   Cover the dough with a warm damp cloth and set aside for 10 minutes. Add a little of the melted butter to the dough, kneading, until all of the butter is incorporated.
