Bint al-Sahn

Bint al-Sahn, also known as Yemeni honey cake, consists of multiple thin layers of dough brushed with ghee (clarified butter), baked until golden, and then drizzled with honey. The top of the pastry is glazed with an egg wash and topped with nigella seeds. Bint al-Sahn is known for its flaky, buttery texture and sweet flavor, making it a popular dessert or treat, especially during special occasions and family gatherings in Yemen. It is served with honey, which is considered a sign of wealth and high social status.
