  2. 2

    Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest, preferably overnight.

    The next day, break up the mixture with your hands to loosen any clumps, then gradually add orange blossom water until you get a soft, workable dough.

    Take a portion of the dough and shape it into a rectangle. Add the filling (dates or date paste mixed well with a little water, a pinch of cinnamon, and clove for flavor; you can also add toasted sesame seeds).

    Let them cool, then drizzle with a small amount of thick honey (since the filling is already sweet) and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
