Hanifah's Date Ma'moul Recipe

Assalamu Alaikum everyone!

As promised here is the recipe for my date ma'moul! I know that it is not a 'proper' ma'moul recipe but our family really likes it. Hopefully you will give it a try and let us know what you think.

Ingredients:-

20 medjool dates

1 tsp rosewater(optional)

330g butter

150g sugar

525g flour

1 egg(whisked)

First mash the dates. You can use a fork or a food processer. Add the rosewater and mix well.

Next you will need to beat the butter with a wooden spoon until it is soft.

Then add the sugar and cream them together.

Sift in half of the flour and combine. Then add the egg and remaining flour and combine to form a dough.

Roll the dough into even-sized balls. This recipe should form around 20. Make a hole in each ball and add the date filling.

Then roll it into a ball again and press into a ma'moul mould. If you don't have any don't worry, you don't need them.

Place on a baking tray and bake on a high shelf for 30 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

And you're done!

This is an easy recipe and it is made with a few simple ingredients.

I hope you liked the post and we'll see you again next Friday.

Wassalam,

Hanifah
