Instructions
- 1
Prepare the syrup first: Boil the sugar and water for 10 minutes. Stir in the ground cardamom and lemon juice, then chill the syrup in the refrigerator until it is ice cold.
- 2
In a small bowl, steep the saffron in the warm water for 5 minutes.
- 3
In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, plain yogurt, and the saffron-infused water until you have a smooth, elastic, and slightly runny batter. Cover and let it rest in a warm place for 45 minutes until bubbly.
- 4
Pour the risen batter into a squeeze bottle or a piping bag with a small 1/4-inch round tip.
- 5
Heat 2 inches of neutral oil in a deep, wide pan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully pipe the batter directly into the hot oil in intricate, overlapping spiral or pretzel shapes.
- 6
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until deeply golden and crispy. Using tongs, remove the hot Zlabia and instantly submerge them in the cold cardamom syrup for 10 seconds. Drain and serve crunchy.
