Hello everybody.
Saw this elegant delicacies recipe on Facebook that triggered me to try them immediately ,specially that I have all ingredients, after i published the photos on my page many members told me that these are Algerian cookies named “tear drops” maybe cause of its shape.
They’re simply a special dough filled with almonds, shaped like a tear drop using a long fork then shaped like a tear drop, baked then drizzled with syrup while still hot.
First three or four pieces were not good looking but then i figured the correct way , not difficult at all.
Ingredients and method:
for the dough:
- 150 gm butter.
- 1 tablespoon semolina.
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 1 tablespoon coconut.
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder.
- 1 tsp vanilla .
- 2 eggs
- 2- 21/2 cups flour.
- 1 cup crushed almonds with 1 tablespoon sugar.
- sugar syrup.
- Beat eggs with vanilla .
- add butter then all dry ingredients .
- add flour gradually and knead well till you get a soft dough.
- shape dough into small size balls.
- spread dough over a wide fork then fill with almonds and close.
- remove dough and twist to close ends.
- you can put an almond in the middle.
- bake in a medium heated oven for 20-30 minutes or till golden.
- while still hot drizzle syrup on them.
You can add crushed pistachios on ends if you like.
