Fig Ma’amoul

“Fig ma’amoul” is a traditional Middle Eastern pastry filled with a sweet and flavorful fig filling. The dough is typically made with a blend of semolina, flour, butter, and sugar, resulting in a delicate and crumbly texture. The fig filling consists of finely chopped or pureed figs, sometimes mixed with other ingredients such as nuts or spices to enhance the flavor. These pastries are often shaped into small rounds or decorative molds and are enjoyed as a delicious treat, particularly during festive occasions or as a delightful accompaniment to tea or coffee.
