Maamoul

by:




Ma'amoul are small shortbread pastries filled with dates, pistachios or walnuts (or occasionally almonds, figs, or other fillings). They are popular in Levantine cuisine and in the Gulf countries. They may be in the shape of balls or of domed or flattened cookies. They can either be decorated by hand or be made in special wooden moulds. Many households keep a stock of them all year round, but they are particularly used on religious festivals. Muslims eat them at night during Ramadan, and Arabic-speaking Christians eat them at Easter. - Wikipedia I made the version which is filled with walnuts and pistachios. Of course I did not have the wooden moulds so I relied on my palms and the use of a fork and I also used a ridged part which came out from one of my nephews toys.
