Mardin ihibet · regional dessert recipe · semolina dessert with molasses

55 dk · 6 servings · 320 kcal

Ingredients

• 2 cups semolina
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup grape molasses
• 1.5 cups warm water
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup crushed walnuts
• Cinnamon and pistachios for topping

Method

1. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine semolina, flour, vegetable oil, and baking soda.
2. Gradually add warm water and knead into a firm dough.
3. Pinch off walnut-sized pieces of dough, flatten them in your palm, place walnuts inside, and seal.
4. Arrange the prepared pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 25 minutes until lightly browned.
6. Drizzle grape molasses evenly over the hot pastries right as they come out of the oven.
7. Let them rest to absorb the molasses, then garnish with cinnamon and pistachios before serving.

Pouring the molasses the moment the pastries come out of the oven ensures they absorb it better.
