Rub the semolina and butter together into a sandy dough.
Rest the dough for 15 minutes so the semolina absorbs the fat.
Place the date paste in the center of the dough and roll it up.
Cut the roll into diamond-shaped slices.
Fry the slices in 170°C oil for 5 minutes.
Dip the hot slices in honey syrup for 2 minutes.
💡 Tip: Let the semolina rest with the butter; the dough cuts cleanly around the date filling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm after dipping in honey syrup.
