About Bahraini Date Ma'amoul
Alexandria Drzazgowski presents these date-filled maamoul as her Bahraini recipe. Semolina and all-purpose flour form the pastry around a date centre, with a mould giving each cookie its pattern.
Ghee, butter and milk enrich the dough. Cinnamon, cardamom, orange extract and almond extract flavour the date filling, while sugar sweetens the pastry.
The cookies have decorated surfaces enclosing the smooth date filling. The author describes a firmer cookie texture, with the patterned shape central to their presentation.
