Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the semolina, salt and melted butter.
2 min
Step 2
Mix well until it resembles wet sand. Gradually add warm water and mix continuously, until the dough is smooth and sticky. Set aside.
3 min
Step 3
On a clean surface, knead the cinnamon and the orange flower water into the date dough.
4 min
Step 4
Roll the date dough into a 1cm-thick sausage and cut in half. Set aside.
5 min
Step 5
On the same clean surface, add the semolina dough. Divide in half, and shape each half into cylinders.
5 min
Step 6
With your thumb, split the cylinder in half but not all the way through. Just until you create a pocket to fit the date sausage.
5 min
Step 7
Once you add the filling to each cylinder, close it by applying just the right amount of pressure. Roll it to get a smooth dough. Cut each cylinder on the diagonal to get 2cm ‘diamonds’.
5 min
Step 8
Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the ‘diamonds’ in batches, until golden brown on all sides.
5 min
Step 9
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil.
2 min
Step 10
Dip into hot honey.
2 min
Step 11
Place on a cooling rack with a sheet pan underneath to allow the excess to drip off.
