Masghati | Persian saffron and rosewater sweet

The process of making Masghati is long and takes about 3 hours. The first step is to dissolve the starch in cold water and then sieve the mixture. In a pan, mix the water and sugar and let it heat. After it starts to boil, add the starch mixture and put it on medium heat. At this time you should stir the mixture every few minutes for even baking until it starts to thicken. After about 2 hours, the mixture starts to thicken and you can add the bloomed saffron and nuts. Keep stirring as the rigidity increases. Close to the end of the process, add butter and rosewater and let it boil for another 20 minutes until the mixture forms like dough and can be separated from the pan.
