Awameh
Also known as: عوامات, عوامة, لقمة القاضي
Golden fried dough balls with rose-scented sugar syrup.
About Awameh
Diana shares awameh as a classic Arabic sweet and describes the Jordanian custom of enjoying them with Turkish coffee. This version pairs small fried dough balls with rose-scented attir syrup.
Lemon juice accents the sugar syrup, while the flour-and-cornstarch dough has a lightly salted base. Date syrup is offered as an additional optional finish.
The balls have a golden, crisp exterior around a soft, fluffy centre. Their syrup coating adds sweetness to the contrasting textures, and the selected serving option is warm.
