- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water

- 1 can ready-made clotted cream (qimeer)
- Method to prepare the cream:
- Bring the water and powdered milk to a boil… when the milk begins to boil add a small cup of white vinegar (about a small coffee cup) with 1 cup of yogurt…

- When the mixture becomes a single dough-like mass, spread it on a clean surface greased with syrup (qater or shireh) and sprinkled with rose water; let it cool slightly, roll it up and fill with cream, or serve in pieces with cream, as desired.
