It is my friend's birthday on Sunday and I thought to make him a batch of
shortbread.
But, since I am a spiceaholic and since the generous Dame Selene has gifted
me with a wicked great jar of saffron and since to me baking is more of a
science than an art (with all due respect to you bakers out there), I have the
following question(s) on how best to incorporate the spice:
Saffron needs to bloom in hot liquid if not little threads are to be left in
the final product. Will adding a small amount of hot water affect the final
product? Should I melt a little of the butter and bloom the saffron in that? How
will melted butter affect the end result?
Thanks!
Renata
