👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the fine semolina, all-purpose flour, and salt. Rub in the melted butter and vegetable oil until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- 2
Gradually add warm water, mixing to form a soft, pliable dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- 3
While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Mix the date paste with cinnamon and orange blossom water. Knead until smooth and pliable.
- 4
Divide the dough into two portions. Roll out one portion into a rectangular sheet about 1 cm thick.
- 5
Shape the date paste into a long log and place it on top of the rolled-out dough. Cover the date log with the other half of the dough, pressing gently to seal.
- 6
Cut the dough into diamond shapes using a knife or a pastry wheel. You can use a mold for a more uniform shape if you have one.
- 7
Prepare the honey syrup: In a saucepan, combine honey, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened. Let it cool.
- 8
Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to about 170°C (340°F). Carefully fry the makroudh in batches until golden brown on both sides. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- 9
Remove the fried makroudh from the oil and immediately plunge them into the cooled honey syrup. Let them soak for a few minutes.
- 10
Remove from the syrup and place on a wire rack to drain. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Let them cool completely before serving.
