Mix the semolina, flour, powdered sugar, and baking powder.
Add the butter and yogurt and knead a soft dough.
Rest the dough for 20 minutes.
Mix the walnuts, cinnamon, and granulated sugar for the filling.
Open pieces of dough and fill them with the walnut mixture.
Bake the mamul at 175°C for 20 to 22 minutes.
When cool, serve with powdered sugar.
💡 Tip: Rest the semolina dough briefly; once the semolina swells, the cookies shape without cracking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve mamul cold with powdered sugar, Turkish coffee, or light tea.
