As you've been enjoying our Ramadan recipes, here's one from Nassim, a Persian cooking instructor at Free to Feed Melbourne. She shares her Bamieh recipe, a Persian sweet doughnut that she usually breaks her fast with alongside black tea.
MAKES 30 - 40 PIECES
INGREDIENTS
250ml water
125g sugar
8 cardamom pods, crushed
1 tsp rose water
Pinch of saffron threads
250ml water (extra)
40g unsalted butter
250g plain flour, sifted
3 eggs
¼ tsp vanilla paste
½ tsp baking powder
500ml vegetable/canola oil
Icing sugar (to serve)
Dried rose petals (to serve)
Crushed pistachios (to serve)
METHOD
Combine one cup of water and butter in a medium-sized pot over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to simmer. Add sifted flour and baking powder. Use a wooden spoon to form a dough. Stir for 5 minutes to cook out the flour. Remove from heat and leave to cool slightly.
Place the dough in a bowl. Mix the eggs in the dough by hand, one at a time and add vanilla. Fill a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
Heat oil until it reaches 160C. Squeeze the dough into the hot oil, snipping the end of the dough with scissors. Fry on medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides. Strain on a tray lined with paper towels.
To make the syrup, combine water, sugar, cardamom and saffron in a pot and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Toss the doughnuts in the syrup. Serve with a light dusting of icing sugar, crushed pistachios and rose petals.
