Ingredients
- 4 cups wheat flour
- 2 ¾ cups seh - ripe sticky dates
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 1 ¼ cups toasted sesame seeds
- 3/4 cup samen
Directions
Brown the flour in a skillet, stirring to avoid burning. Stone the dates and pull them apart with your hand.
Place in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the cardamom and sesame seeds over. Gradually add the samen (oil) and browned flour, a little at a time, working the ingredients in with the fingertips.
When all is well blended, the mixture should resemble large biscuit crumbs. Store in an airtight container and serve on a fou-alla. The mixture will keep for a week.
