Instructions

1. Make a crumbly dough from semolina, flour, salt, butter and 100 g of powdered sugar and rub it in between your hands for about 5 minutes (a large coffee mug with 250 ml capacity serves as a measure).
2. Then dissolve a level teaspoon each of dry yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk and allow to swell for approx. 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of orange blossom water and 1 tablespoon of rose water. Add this liquid to the crumbs and quickly knead into a smooth dough.
3. Now cover the dough and let it rest in a cool place for at least 2 - 3 hours or overnight (not necessarily in the refrigerator, unless in summer). The consistency should then correspond to that of a normal shortcrust pastry. If it is still too sticky, add a little more flour to the dough. Then divide the dough into approx. 60 balls.
4. For the walnut filling, mix the finely chopped walnuts with the remaining powdered sugar as well as 2 tablespoons of orange blossom water and 1 teaspoon of rose water.
5. Press the dough balls flat in your hand or shape them into small shells, fill with approx. 1 heaped teaspoon of walnuts and shape with your hands or traditional molds, enclosing the filling.
6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and distribute the mamoul on top. Now bake the mamoul in the preheated oven for approx. 15-20 minutes at 180 ° C. Make sure that the pastries do not get too dark. Dust with icing sugar while it is still hot and store in a closed can after cooling.
7. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find the required models in this country, often only through online shops from abroad, so that they are relatively expensive due to the shipping costs. In shops with oriental food you should also be able to buy them directly, so that city dwellers shouldn`t have any problems.
8. The orange blossom and rose water you need is also available there in good quality and at fair prices. Orange blossom and rose water in food quality are otherwise available in numerous German online shops or in pharmacies (usually only after ordering).
9. I looked in vain for the ingredients and the models in the Turkish grocery stores near me, so you really should go to an Arabic store. But since I really wanted to try the recipe and didn`t find the hand-formed Mamoul optimal, I simply used the inside of a plastic citrus press and formed the dough balls in it. I was very happy with the result.
