Krass Bil Samneh ( Butter Biscuit- no sugar)

 Traditionally, Krass Bil Samneh is eaten during Easter and especially on Easter day for breakfast with coloured boiled eggs. I like it with cheese and my favourite is eating it with dark chocolates! if you dont like dark chocolate , you can substitute it for milk chocolate!!

Ingredients:

700g Ferkha (Fine Semolina)
300g Flour

300g Butter

1 tsp dried Yeast  (I use 1 sachet of fast action Yeast) = 15g fresh yeast

1 Tbsp Mahlab
1 tsp Miskeh / Mastic  (pound into powder with a bit of sugar)

Salt

Water (as much needed)

Mix all ingredients together till it becomes a soft dough. Take a handfull of the dough and roll it into a big round circle of approx 15 cm diameter. Poke them in the middle with fork, circle or any other shape. Twist the edges or leave them flat, make the design your own :) The poking is to avoid the biscuits rising. Cover with a kitchen towel and leave them to rest for 2hrs. Then cook in medium hot oven gas mark 6 (200C=400F) for about 20 mins or once you feel the biscuit is done.
