Tameriya dessert is one of the easiest desserts. Despite its name, it does not contain dates at all — it is made with semolina instead! Here is how to make it. Ingredients: The filling: Half a cup sugar Half a cup semolina 2 cups water 1 teaspoon rose water The dough: 1 cup flour Half a cup warm water A pinch of salt Plenty of oil for frying Powdered sugar for decoration, as desired

Preparation method:

In a bowl, mix the flour and salt, then gradually add the warm water and knead into a dough. Cover it and let it rest overnight at room temperature. Prepare the filling by heating the water, then add the sugar to the hot water and stir until dissolved. Add the semolina, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Finally, add the rose water, stir, remove the mixture from the heat, and pour it into a dish or a Pyrex dish greased with oil. Let it cool at room temperature, then in the refrigerator. Once cooled, cut it into squares to make it easier to fill the semolina mixture inside the dough sheets. The next day, shape the dough into balls and roll each ball out very thinly with oil. Place a square of filling inside each rolled piece of dough, then fold the edges over the semolina filling to form a square, continuing until all the mixture is used. Press it lightly from the top so the filling distributes evenly inside it. Fry the tameriya in plenty of hot oil until golden. Remove it from the oil and place it on paper towels to absorb the oil. Sprinkle with powdered sugar once it reaches room temperature and serve. Tameriya dessert from a friend of the Shou Tabkhin Today website
