Ingredients:

1 kg flour

250g melted butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons orange-flower water

50g ground sesame seeds

Water

~ 1l oil

Honey

Sesame seeds



FIRST STEP

Mix the flour and butter



Then add salt, ground sesame seeds and baking powder and mix well

Add both eggs

Add the orange-flower water and enough water to obtain a soft dough



SECOND STEP

Flatten the dough



Then cut rectangles (10cm length x 7cm width) and make three cuts inside each rectangle.



Shape the griwech pieces, that’s the part where you have to see someone do it in front of you, so I won’t explain .

While you’re doing this, heat the oil.



LAST STEP

Fry the griwech pieces in hot oil.

Before serving, soak in warm honey and sprinkle with sesame seeds -if preferred-.
