Steps

45 minutes

1

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the oil and ghee (or butter), and knead well until the fats are fully incorporated into the flour. Gradually add the milk until the dough comes together and is soft.
2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the dough using any cookie cutter or mold you like.
3

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes.
4

Brush the pastries with egg yolk mixed with a dash of vanilla if filling with dates, or with salt and pepper if filling with cheese.
5

Note: I warmed the date paste in the microwave for 30 seconds with 1 teaspoon ghee and a little cinnamon.
