Ingredients You'll Need:

• Milk: Activates the yeast and binds all the ingredients together. (Substitute with non-dairy milk if needed.)
• Saffron: Provides a distinctive flavor and beautiful golden color to the buns. (Turmeric can be used as a substitute for color.)
• Sugar: Adds sweetness and aids in browning. (White, brown, or sugar substitute can be used.)
• Butter: Adds richness and flavor. (Margarine or oil can be substituted.)
• Active Dry Yeast: Makes the dough rise. (Instant yeast can be used with adjusted quantities.)
• All-Purpose Flour: Forms the structure of the buns. (Gluten-free flour blend can be a substitute.)
• Salt: Enhances the flavor. (Sea salt or kosher salt can be alternatives.)
• Ground Cardamom: Adds sweet, aromatic flavor. (Ground cinnamon or nutmeg can be used as substitutes.)
• Eggs: Provide structure and moisture. (Egg replacement or flax egg for those with allergies.)
• Sour Cream: Adds moisture and a slight tanginess. (Greek yogurt can be a substitute.)
• Raisins: Add a sweet and chewy texture. (Sultanas, currants, or chopped dried apricots can be alternatives.)
