Ma’amoul
Ma’amoul is a delicious Middle Eastern dessert typically made during special occasions like Eid or Easter. It’s a shortbread cookie filled with dates, nuts, or figs, and often flavored with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
Ingredients
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, flour, powdered sugar, salt, and butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk and rose water while kneading the dough until it comes together.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Take small portions of the dough and shape them into small balls.
- Flatten each ball with your thumb to create a well in the center for the filling.
- Fill the center with your desired filling (date paste is traditional).
- Close the dough around the filling and reshape into a ball. You can use a Ma’amoul mold for decorative patterns.
- Place the Ma’amoul on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Allow the Ma’amoul to cool before serving.
