A very dear friend of mine an Arab used to make these and I loved her company. Now that she is away in her own country I miss her a whole lot. Just to remind me of the good times I make these.

Sift flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Make a well in between. Break the egg, add oil, yeast mixture and then the rest of the milk.

Now take small amounts of the dough. (Smaller than the size of a ping pong ball) flatten it on the palm and put the creme cheese in between and wrap. Roll to make balls

This will make approximately 40 balls

Remove from oven and instantly pour the syrup all over the balls. It should be bubbling when you pour.
