Brilliant clear instructions – very inspiring. I’m wondering if I can get these moulds in Dubai – I’ve never seen them, but maybe I wasn’t looking!

Beth, I love anything shortbread style. You then add to it fancy looking little gems. I am hooked. Lovely moulds..I might have to get them and then set up a day in my calendar to bake these lovely treats. I am so loving reading your blog. It’s a gem.

Hey Sarah! Missed you at FBC! Hope to see you next year. I keep hearing about Claudia Roden’s book so I’m off to buy it tomorrow.

I found ma’amoul molds awhile back in Jaffa and then again in Nazareth. I made pistachio, walnut and date ma’amouls using just white flour without semolina (a recipe by Claudia Roden).
Now I know why the ma’amouls I bought in an Arab bakery in Jaffa were so different. To me they tasted like curry because of the heavy dose of fenugreek. I didn’t realize then that fenugreek is a traditional ingredient in some ma’amouls. I added orange blossom water and rose water to my own. Such a wonderful smell. I never added mahlab, that I used for the ka’ak I made.
Great Ma’amoul tuturial. Hope the FBC was a great success!
