Directions: |
Directions:Mix 2 cups of warm Laban (or buttermilk) with yeast and sugar and set aside for 10 minutes. Measure out 2 cups of flour and then stir in yeast mixture. Mix well until resembles a kind of pancake consistency. Let set aside in warm place covered for 2 hours. Heat oil. Take mixture and scoop out of bowl with your fingers into a ball form and drop into the oil to make a kind of a doughnut hole shape. This takes a bit to get used to but after making them a few times you will get better at making this shape. Serve warm with date syrup drizzled on top. |

Notes: When we travel to my husbands home of Saudi Arabia I get to experience something new in the food world everytime. This past year we got to spend Ramadan with Ahmed's family. This is where we fast from sun up to sun down and then we break our fast with family at a meal called Iftar. At almost every night for Iftar there was this lovely fried dough creation called Awwamat. It was hard to stay away from these at the dinner table as they are so addictive. I would really recommend that you would find the date syrup to drizzle over them as it really is what makes it so special. In the Middle East you can find it in any home. I have found it here in the States also at Middle Eastern grocery stores as well as online. This recipe was taught to me by Ahmed's Mother as well as his Auntie Amina.
