    Ingredients:

    1 kg flour

    250g melted butter

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    2 eggs

    2 teaspoons baking powder

    2 tablespoons orange-flower water

    50g ground sesame seeds

    Water

    ~ 1l oil

    Honey

    Sesame seeds



    FIRST STEP

    Mix the flour and butter



    Then add salt, ground sesame seeds and baking powder and mix well

    Add both eggs

    Add the orange-flower water and enough water to obtain a soft dough



    SECOND STEP

    Flatten the dough



    Then cut rectangles (10cm length x 7cm width) and make three cuts inside each rectangle.



    Shape the griwech pieces, that’s the part where you have to see someone do it in front of you, so I won’t explain .

    While you’re doing this, heat the oil.



    LAST STEP

    Fry the griwech pieces in hot oil.

    Before serving, soak in warm honey and sprinkle with sesame seeds -if preferred-.

    Thanx amina, i love these we made some over the weekend (well i watched).
    Houda chebikiya taste different to these , moroccons use more ingrediants and it turns out a much darker colour to griwech. Try these ones you will love them .
