I've developed a Moroccan sweet tooth - sweet shai bina'ana kul yom (mint tea every day)! often with pastries (helwa) on the side.
I came home the other day planning to take a break from sugar when Hajja (the matriarch) presented us with these:
The round things are glazed lemony, scone-like treats. They're quite dry but surprisingly moreish and excellent washed down with lots of sweet tea. The triangles are like sweet samosas filled with sweet rice pudding-y stuff, deep-fried then covered in sugar and cinnamon. They're served with even more icing sugar to dip them into. Exactly as you'd imagine - very good. Although I can feel my teeth/arteries pleading with me to give them a day off.
