Hints & Tips
(1) Clarified butter or samneh, or ghee. Some people prefer to add more butter to this recipe, up to 100 g / 1/4 pounds more.
Ingredients
- 225 g / 1/2 lbs. clarified butter (1)
- 225 g / 1/2 lbs. powdered sugar
- 450 g / 1 lbs. flour
- Halved almonds or pistachios for decoration
Method
- Beat the cooled clarified butter for 2 minutes.
- Add the powder sugar and continue to beat until creamy.
- Add the flour and beat/knead until incorporated.
- Knead the dough a little. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Shapes into small balls or rings and press a piece of nut in the middle.
- Arrange in an ungreased cookie sheet. To preserve their shape while baking, refrigerate them after shaping for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 160°C / 325°F. Bake until very light golden, between 8-15 minutes.
- Remove from cookie sheet when cool. Ghraybeh is sandy and very sensitive when hot, so handle with care or else it will break.
