Maamool Bjowz - Sweet Walnut Cakes Ingredients

Stephen Ceideburg	500 g Walnuts
750 g Semolina	1/2 c Sugar
1 c Sugar	1/4 c Cold water
500 g Butter	1/2 ts Rosewater

Instructions for Maamool Bjowz - Sweet Walnut Cakes

Mix thoroughly in a large bowl 750 g semolina and 1 cup sugar. Melt 500 g butter until bubbling, then blend it into the semolina-sugar mixture. Knead well then set aside for at least one hour or up to 24. Knead the mixture again then pour in enough boiling water to make a soft, pliable dough (wear rubber gloves so you can handle the hot mixture). Crush 500 g walnut pieces finely (this can be done in a food processor) and add to 1/2 a cup of sugar. Mix 1/4 of a cup of cold water with half a teaspoon of rosewater (any Lebanese or Asian food store) and mix the liquid into the walnut-sugar mix- ture. Mould the pastry into balls about 5 cm in diameter. Make a cavity in the centre of each ball with your finger and fill with walnut mixture. Close the pastry over the top of the filling and flatten the stuffed pastry ball a little between your hands. Make a design on top with the tines of a fork Place these cakes on an ungreased baking tray and cook at 230 C until lightly browned, approximately 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container and sift icing sugar generously over the top of each layer of cakes.
