Ingredients:

Serving

doughnuts
8 cups pastry flour
1 qt. laban- use jimrug's recipe yogurt-laban.html >homemade yogurt laban
1/2 tsp. soda
1 1/2 cups olive oil
sugar syrup or qater or 'atr
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp. ma'ez zahr (orange blossom essence)
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. ma'el ward (rose water)

Directions:

Doughnuts:
Sift flour and mix with laban and soda. Knead well together.
Heat olive oil until almost smoking. Drop dough by the teaspoonful into hot oil.
Fry only a few at a time. They quickly rise to the surface, brown, and are ready to be skimmed out of the fat.
Drain on absorbent paper. When all the 'awwamaat are fried, dip a few at a time in thin sugar syrup (qater, see recipe below). Serve the doughnuts hot or cold.
Sugar Syrup or Qater or 'Atr:
Dissolve sugar in water and boil rapidly.
Remove foam which rises to top.
Add orange blossom water and lemon juice and continue boiling until syrup resembles thin honey.
Add rose water last to preserve its essence.
