Halwat es Semoule

Fez & North·Easy·20 min

粗麦粉加黄油和蜂蜜在锅中烘炒,烤至金黄,切块。是斋月期间的家常甜品,口感沙酥甜润。

粗麦蜜糕是摩洛哥斋月期间的家常甜品,粗麦粉加黄油在锅中慢慢烘炒至金黄,再以蜂蜜或糖浆黏合,切块。它与已有的塞路(焙麦杏仁甜糕)和玛弗鲁卡同属粗麦粉甜点家族,但这道最简单:只有粗麦粉、黄油和蜂蜜。烘炒粗麦粉是关键步骤,耐心炒足十分钟,香气和色泽才能出来。这道菜反映了摩洛哥饮食中对粗麦粉的多面运用,同一种谷物能做出从主食到甜品的百般花样。

沙酥、甜润、黄油香浓。粗麦粉的烘烤香和蜂蜜的甜融为一体,一口一块停不下。

粗麦粉在黄油中烘炒时,淀粉发生美拉德褐变,产生坚果和太妃香气。火候不足则生粉气,过度则焦苦。蜂蜜在离火后加入,借余温融化黏合粗麦粉,冷却后凝固成可切块的糕体。

Variations

有的加碎杏仁增脆。加肉桂提香。用橙花水调蜂蜜增花味。

How it's made

5 steps · 20 min

  1. 1
    10 min

    Melt 150g butter in a pan; add 2 cups semolina; toast 10 min, stirring, until deep golden.

    Watch out

    Toast the semolina in butter to deep gold and toffee-fragrant — stop short and it tastes raw, push it and it scorches bitter.

  2. 2
    5 min

    Off heat, stir in 1/2 cup warm honey and 2 tbsp orange-blossom water.

    Watch out

    Stir the honey in off the heat — added on the flame the sugar seizes and hardens instead of binding smooth.

  3. 3
    5 min

    Press into a greased tray; cool; cut into diamonds.

  4. 4
    3 min

    Dust with cinnamon.
