Ingredients

- 3 and a half cups white flour
- 1 and a half cups farina flour
- Three-quarters cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon mahlab
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon finely ground anise
- A pinch of nigella seeds
- Sesame seeds
- 2 eggs
- A pinch of vanilla
- A pinch of salt
- 1 and a half cups sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- Mix the dry ingredients and set aside...
- Beat the eggs with the vanilla, salt, and sugar
- Add the oil and milk to the eggs and beat well.
- Add the dry ingredients mixture over the egg mixture and stir well, then set aside to rise and rest for about an hour.
- After the required time, shape the dough as desired into fingers or rings. Dip them in the sesame and nigella seed mixture.
- If the dough feels sticky and a bit runny, you can add more flour.
- Place the ka'ak tray in a preheated oven until the ka'ak turns golden. Bake from the bottom first, then from the top. If your oven heats from both sides, a shorter baking time will be enough.
