How to Make Shuaibiyat

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 5 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 600 ml milk
• 400 ml heavy cream
• Ready-made baklava dough
• Beef ghee

Method

1. Mix the starch with one cup of milk and set aside. Mix the remaining milk, cream, and vanilla in a pot and heat them; when they are well heated, add the starch-and-milk mixture you set aside and stir. When the mixture thickens, add rose water and orange blossom water, stir well, and remove from the heat
2. Allow the cream filling to cool before using
3. Cut the baklava dough into squares. Stack 6 to 8 squares on top of each other, fill with one tablespoon of cream, then fold or close the dough into a triangle. Be careful not to press the dough when folding it
4. Melt the ghee and brush the tops of the triangles with it. Place the shuaibiyat on a tray and bake them until they turn golden. You can add more cream after baking because the triangles were left almost half open
5. Garnish the shuaibiyat with pistachios and lemon blossom as desired, and serve them cold with syrup
6. How to make the syrup:
