Baked Makrout
Let me share a family secret with you. A slightly healthier version of the traditional date-filled semolina pastry, baked in the oven instead of fried, before soaking in honey. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
