Pistachio-Filled Cookies (Ma'amoul)
Method
Mix the semolina in a bowl with Lurpak® butter. Mix well with your hands until all the semolina is coated. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour.
Add the milk, rose water, nutmeg and dissolved yeast. Mix well with your hands then cover and let it rest for one more hour.
Mix the pistachio with sugar. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 175C/ 155C fan/gas mark 4.
Form small balls of the dough. Press and pat each ball and make a hole for filling. Fill it with the pistachio mixture. Close it then press it inside the wooden ma’amoul mould. Flip the mould over and hit the edge with a hard surface to get the ma’amoul piece out.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden.
Garnish with icing sugar and serve warm.
