Sheermal - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups flour, sifted
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon saffron
    1 3/4 cups milk
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 cup melted clarified butter (Ghee)
Preparation
    Sift flour with salt onto a large bowl.
    In 1 1/2 tbsp of milk, dissolve the saffron and set it aside.
    The remaining milk should be heated carefully in a pot and the sugar should be dissolved in it. Allow the warmed milk to cool.
    After making a well in the flour, pour in the now cooler milk and mix together until a soft dough is formed.
    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.
    Divide the dough into 12 parts, cover with a warm damp cloth and set aside for 10 minutes.
    Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F.
    Roll each part of the dough out with a rolling pin. They should be 6 inch circles.
    Using a fork, prick all over the circles.
    On a greased baking tray, bake for 4 minutes, then brush them with the milk and saffron mixture and bake for another 4 minutes.
    Eat with melted butter brushed on while still hot.
