What it is

'The judge's daughter': a golden, many-layered honey bread of eggs, flour and nigella seeds, baked in a round tin and drenched with honey — Yemen's festive sweet. Ingredients: flour, eggs (many), butter or ghee, sugar, yeast or baking powder, nigella seeds, honey, sesame. Recipe: 1) Whisk eggs and sugar; fold in flour and fat into a soft dough-batter. 2) Layer or pour into a greased round tin; scatter nigella. 3) Bake until deeply golden and risen. 4) Pour warm honey over the hot bread. Serve: warm at weddings and Eid, with spiced coffee (qishr). Flavor: eggy, buttery, honey-drenched. History: bint al-sahn's name is pure Yemeni poetry; the layers, made by spreading batter in stages in skilled homes, are its pride. See also: Saltah, Mandi (Yemeni).
