- Step 1 To prepare milk pilaf, take long-grain basmati rice, milk, salt, melted butter, honey, saffron; for the cakes we need flour, oil, water and salt. Cook the pilaf in a saucepan with a thick bottom.

- Step 8 The dough is rolled into a cake, the diameter from the bottom of the pan. Put the cake on the bottom of the pan. Put on a slow fire. (I used a divider). The fire must be very quiet.
- Step 9 Transfer the rice with a soft noisy or saucer, as the rice is tender, can break. Rice we put a slide so that it does not touch the hot walls of the pan. Rice on the bottom will save from sticking sticks. Do not ram. The rice should breathe.
