Dessert is often front and centre at Eid celebrations, with ma’amoul foremost among those sweet treats.
Eid al-Fitr is a religious holiday marked by Muslims around the world at the end of Ramadan. It will be celebrated this weekend.
Ma’amoul is made with “simple ingredients,” including semolina flour, butter and sugar, noted Ali Seblini, owner of Yasmeen Bakery in Windsor, Ont.
Although some bakers get more creative, adding different fillings, he said the three classic ones are pistachios, dates or walnuts.
Seblini said they’re then topped with powdered sugar, except the date-filled ones because of their sweetness.
