Flavor stand-ins for the saffron

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (sugar, butter, rose, milk):

  1. Cinnamonbetter flavor fit
  2. Nutmegbetter flavor fit
  3. Maceabout as good a flavor fit
  4. Saffronthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against sugar, butter, rose, milk. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
