Homemade Athmaliya Dough

Homemade Athmaliya dough is versatile for making several recipes, depending on the thickness of the dough when baked. Try this easy method.

\n

\n\n Ingredients: \nTwo cups flour\nOne cup cornstarch\nPinch of salt\n3 tablespoons vegetable oil\nTwo cups water \n\n

\nPreparation:\nWe mix the ingredients together and strain them, then place them in a nylon bag or cream bag and pierce a small hole with a thin stick (toothpick) and then squeeze from the bag either into a nonstick pan on low heat for two minutes or onto a crepe maker for two minutes... Squeeze from the bag in thin lines quickly .. The lines take about two minutes then lift them....

\nWe can stretch a bunch of threads and fill them with cream or walnuts or any filling we want, and then roll them into circles and place in muffin tins and bake in a hot oven until browned a bit... We drizzle syrup on them as soon as they come out of the oven...

Thickness of the lines determines the recipe; if the threads are very thin, we can make a dessert like #BirdsNest or thicker to form Athmaliya as shown in the accompanying photo...

Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • a pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups water
  • Zahra (Umm Hadi)

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Mix the ingredients together and strain them, then place the batter into a plastic bag or a piping bag and make a small hole with a thin stick (toothpick). Pipe from the bag either into a non-stick pan over low heat for 2 minutes or onto a crepe maker for 2 minutes. Pipe thin, quick lines from the bag; the lines need 2 minutes, then lift them off.
    Timers: 2 min
  2. You can lay out a group of strands and fill them with qishta (clotted cream) or walnuts or any filling you want, then roll them into circles, place them in oven-safe muffin tins and bake in a preheated oven until lightly browned. Pour syrup over them as soon as they come out of the oven.
  3. The thickness of the lines for this batter determines the recipe you want to make: if the lines are very thin you can make the 'Bird's Nest' dessert, for example, or you can make them somewhat thicker to prepare athmaliya as shown in the accompanying photo.
