Making saffron biscuits start to finishfrom @diasporaco

[01]

Overview

The creator makes saffron honey biscuits from scratch. They start by grinding saffron in a mortar and pestle, infusing it into a liquid, and mixing it into a dough with butter, sugar, and flour. The creator then rolls out the dough, cuts it into scalloped circles, coats them in sugar, places them on a baking sheet, and finally showcases the finished, baked biscuits.
