Cómo hacer Makroud

Por qué empezar aquí

Makroud are semolina diamonds stuffed with dates, fried or baked, then soaked in honey. More Maghreb than Fes pastry shop, and worth a place in a full Morocco book.

Makroud are delightful semolina pastries, shaped into diamonds and filled with a sweet date paste. These treats are either fried or baked, then generously soaked in honey, offering a rich and satisfying sweetness. Originating from the Maghreb region, they are a staple in Moroccan cuisine, often enjoyed as a dessert or a special treat. The flavor of Makroud is a harmonious blend of nutty semolina, buttery richness, and the natural sweetness of dates, enhanced by a hint of cinnamon. The honey soak adds a luscious finish, making each bite a perfect balance of textures and tastes. Though more commonly found in the Maghreb, these pastries have earned their place in any comprehensive Moroccan cookbook.
