These ma'amoul biscuits are a must for Mother's Day
Previous SlideNext Slide Lebanese$$$$ Home baker Amal Elhani has been making ma'amoul for her friends and family for 38 years. Now she makes it for the community at Smeed, a Lebanese biscuit shop owned by her daughter, Serena Tajjour. The shop sells ma'amoul – a date-filled shortbread semolina biscuit – made from a treasured family recipe, as well as more modernised versions filled with marshmallow and raspberry, Nutella and roasted hazelnut, and lotus and salted macadamia, along with kahweh – a cardamom-spiced Lebanese coffee. The ma'amoul dough is pressed into wooden moulds brought over from Lebanon, imprinting each biscuit with a traditional design. You can enjoy them at one of the tables out front or take them home in beautifully designed custom boxes by Tajjour (a graphic designer by trade).
