Delightful Cardamom and Saffron Buns

Delightful Cardamom and Saffron Buns – an exquisite combination of flavours where cardamom and saffron meet for a perfect combination of aromatic spices and beneficial ingredients.

These buns are made with less flour, making them airier and lighter than traditional recipes. The inclusion of dry milk not only enriches the texture, but also adds a protein boost, making every bite both satisfying and nutritious.

Go for the healthier version by baking these buns in the oven at 220°C for 20 minutes, turning them into lovely golden treats that avoid the heaviness of frying in oil.

The bars are a good lunch box treat, an afternoon snack or even a picnic. They combine beautifully with a piece of cheese, a drop of honey or on their own – without added flavor. Their valuable nutritional value and captivating aroma make them a fantastic choice for any situation, providing not only taste but also valuable nutrients.
