1

Combine the flour, sourdough starter, cardamom, saffron, water, sugar and salt in a large bowl.

2

Place in the fridge overnight.

3

Remove the bowl from the fridge. Whisk in the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and baking powder.

4

Place a flat pan over a medium heat. Pour 60ml of the batter onto the pan once hot. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, approx. 2-3 minutes, then flip to cook on the other side. Brush with butter or ghee, if desired. Repeat the process until all the batter has been used.
