Method

  1. Boil the sugar with water, saffron, and cardamom into a light syrup and set it aside.

  2. Whisk the eggs with the flour until smooth.

  3. Heat the oil in a pan and add the egg mixture, either by the spoonful or all at once.

  4. Brown both sides over medium heat.

  5. Steep the hot khagineh in the warm syrup until it soaks it up, and serve warm.

Cook's notes

Keep the syrup thin enough for the khagineh to absorb it, and use medium heat so the center cooks through.

Background

Khagineh is among the oldest Iranian egg dishes, appears in early Persian cookery texts, and is still made in many regions as a breakfast or homely sweet.
