1724. Loqum (Turkish Delight) Maamoul


There are as many maamoul varieties are there are kheicha ones. Last Eid Al Adha, we made these delicious loqum maamoul using mastic turkish delight and my favorite flour maamoul recipe. 
Any flavored turkish delight can be used.


Ingredients:

7 cups flour
1 tsp kaak spice
500g butter, melted
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup powder milk

For the filling:
Turkish delight squares



Method:

Using your hands of a stand mixer, rub together the flour, kaak spice, and melted butter until the flour drinks up all the butter and it is evenly distributed.
In a beaker, stir together the sugar, water, and powdered milk. Pour over the saturated flour mixture and knead until a dough forms. The dough might be too soft to work with, so cover and set aside for a couple of hours if this is the case.
When the dough is easily shaped, take out ping pong-sized portions and fill with the loqum (cut loqum to appropriate size if necessary). Seal and shape using molds.
Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 12 minutes, until golden at the bottom but still white at the top.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar, and leave to cool completely on the baking sheet.

صحة و عافية
