A Lebanese neighbour gave to some cookies that were made with wheatlets and they were pressed into a mold. Would anyone know what they are called or have a recipe?

My mother-in-law used to make a dessert called "old ladys' teeth" made from nuts and fried bits of dough and mixed with honey. I have not been able to find a recipe for it. I assume it was either Egyptian or Lebanese . Anyone ever heard of it?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you mean ara'eesh, though not sure about nuts being in it. It has an aniseed flavour in it and is deep fried then soaked in sugar syrup. Here is a recipe ideas think resembles it http://shahiya.com/english/recipes/maakaroun-3119
DeleteI'm looking for a looking time for that recipe too. My grandmother used to make it. Please, if anyone knows the exact ingredients ( I remember how to make it because we used to helped her) to use let me know.
DeleteSalma, I don't think the one that you mention is the one that we are looking for because that one didn't have the aniseed flavor.
I remember my grandma making it for special ocations....

ReplyDeleteHi, im after the recipe for a cookie/biscuit called emra'ad. It usually has aniseed and/or fennel flavour added to it & its pressed into a mould to get a round shape with a design engraved. Can anyone help me find this recipe???
ReplyDeletePersonally I never heard of emra'ad. May be the pronunciation is incorrect.

ReplyDeleteFrom Wikipedia:
DeleteKenafeh (Arabic: كنافة kunāfah, Turkish: künefe, (South) Azerbaijan Turkish : Riştə Xətayi / ریشته ختایی, Farsi: رشتهخشکار, Greek: κα(ν)ταΐφι kadaïfi/kataïfi), also spelled knafeh, Kunafeh, kunafeh, knafeh, or kunafah) is a Levantine cheese pastry soaked in sweet sugar-based syrup, typical of the regions belonging to the former Ottoman Empire. It is a dessert specialty of the Levant, especially in Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Syria and northern Egypt. It is a first cousin of the Greek kadaifi and the Turkish tel kadayıf, künefe and ekmek kadayıfı.
Some years ago, Lebanese visitors in Rhodes Island Hellas, gave us a large tin full of Lebanese Sweets. They were somewhat similar to Baklava and Kataifi which are made in Hellas and in Turkey. I can only say this. I thought it was the most delightful sweet of its type and cannot compare to anything else I have tasted. The Lebanese sweets are just heavenly. I would do anything to taste them again.
ReplyDeleteI am cooking this recipe again, for the 3rd time in a little over a month.
