  2. 1/2 tspSalt
  3. 60 gramsWhite sesame seeds
  4. 40 mlMelted butter
  5. 50 mlVegetable oil
  6. 2 tspCaraway seeds
  7. 2 tspOrange water
  8. 1 tspDried yeast
  9. 1 dashSaffron
  10. 1Egg yolk
  11. 1/2 tspVinegar
  12. 200 mlLukewarm water
  13. 100 mlWater
  14. 700 gramsHoney
  15. 1Oil (for deep-frying)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine all of the ingredients.

  2. 2

    All of the ingredients should be evenly combined as shown. Cover the dough in plastic wrap or in a damp cloth to prevent drying, and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Roll out the dough to a 3 mm thickness.

  4. 4

    These are special cutters for chebakia that I bought in Morocco. If you don't have any, use a knife to imitate the shape.

  5. 5

    Thread your finger through alternating strips of dough, then gently pull the outer two strips through the strip closest to you by turning the strips inside-out as shown in the photo below.

  6. 6

    It should look like this. If it's hard to figure out, practice it with a piece of paper first.

  7. 7

    Once you finish forming the cookies, heat the oil to deep-fry them.

  8. 8

    Deep-fry until they turn golden brown.

  9. 9

    While deep-frying, boil the syrup ingredients in a separate pot.

  10. 10

    Coat the freshly deep-fried chebakia in the syrup by dunking them in the syrup. They will sizzle.

  11. 11

    They're done! Sprinkle with sesame seeds to taste and enjoy!
