Authentic Mamoul Recipe (Eid Biscuits) | Easy Dessert Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups semolina flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup ghee
  • 1 cup water (or milk)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rose water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup date paste (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for filling)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine semolina flour, all-purpose flour, melted butter, and ghee. Mix until well combined.

    Let the mixture rest for about 30 minutes for better texture.
  2. Add Liquid Ingredients

    Gradually add water (or milk), sugar, rose water, and vanilla extract. Knead until the dough is smooth.

    Make sure not to over-knead to keep the cookies tender.
  3. Prepare the Filling

    In a small bowl, mix date paste with ground cinnamon until well blended.

    You can also add nuts to the filling for extra flavor.
  4. Shape the Mamoul

    Take a small ball of dough, flatten it, and place a spoonful of filling in the center. Fold the dough over and shape it into a ball.

    Use a mold for authentic shapes.
  5. Bake the Biscuits

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the shaped biscuits on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

    Do not overbake to keep them soft.
