Method

  1. 01

    Make the dough

    Mix the fine semolina, coarse semolina, and baking powder. Work in the melted, warm butter with your hands until the mixture resembles damp sand. Add the rose water and orange blossom water; gradually work in the warm milk until the dough holds together when pressed without sticking to your hands.

  2. 02

    Make the filling

    Process the pitted dates with the butter and cinnamon until they form a compact paste. Divide the paste into small portions and roll them into balls.

  3. 03

    Rest the dough

    Cover the dough and let it rest for 120 minutes.

  4. 04

    Fill and shape

    Take portions of dough, make a hollow in each, and place a date ball inside. Close the dough around the filling and shape each piece in a maamoul mold; if you do not have one, shape it by hand and flatten it slightly.

  5. 05

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Place the pieces on a baking tray and bake for 15–18 minutes, until firm and just lightly browned on the bottoms.
