Ingredients:

• Maida - 1 cup
• Butter at room temperature - 60 gm
• Baking soda - pinch
• Baking powder - pinch
• Sugar - 1 cup
• Lemon juice - 1/8 tsp
• Sliced pistachio - for garnishing
• Saffron stands - little
• Oil for frying.

Method:

• Prepare sugar syrup with sugar covered with enough water, lemon juice and saffron strands. This syrup should be one-string consistency.
• Mix butter, baking soda and baking powder in a bowl nicely. Add maida little-by-little to butter and mix it. Maida will be crumbled, now add water and knead it for atleast 10 minutes (this is very important as kneading helps to prevent cracks in badhusha). 
• The dough will be very soft. Make small balls, flatten it and make small dents in the middle. You can make simple folds around the  corner of the flatten balls.
• Deep fry this badhusha in hot oil over medium heat. Dip this fried badhusha immediately in sugar syrup.
• Once all the bashushas are finished, spread it in a plate for 10 minutes and then store it.
