Steps:
- Sesame Wafer
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and mix in sugar, honey, and salt, then flour. Add sesame seeds.
- Transfer dough to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and flatten with a spoon or offset spatula until dough is no more than 1/4" thick. Bake until wafer is golden brown and smells like caramel, 9-11 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.
- Do Ahead
- Wafer can be made 3 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
- Assembly
- Place saffron in a small bowl and pour in 1 tsp. boiling water. Let sit until saffron is hydrated and releases its color, 10-12 minutes. Stir in oil.
- Break wafer into large pieces. Scoop ice cream into bowls; drizzle with saffron oil and top with wafer.
