Cooking
In a bowl, combine the semolina, flour and a pinch of salt.
Melt the butter and RUB it with the fingers in the rump. Got this baby. Cover the bowl with a lid or foil so the contents were not a little dried out and leave it for an hour.
A few words about the orange drink, water infused with colors of orange. The flowers of the orange tree smell heavenly, and in Morocco (and I suspect that not only there) on orange flowers insist ordinary water. I use it not only in cakes, most often I do compress on the head with migraines, relieves headaches 10 minutes. I have a strong suspicion that such a water you have not, but it does not matter - just add water, vanilla, almond or any other flavor. Here, just in case a picture of a bottle... and suddenly you're going to Africa? Definitely buy, it costs mere pennies - forget about pills with migraines.
An hour passed, semolina swelled a little, add orange-flower water (or other flavored) and mix up it, gathering the dough into a ball. It will be very very soft. Again cover the dough with a lid and forget about it for an hour.
Bored at this time does not have to, unless you don't have almond flour. So, if instead of flour you have almonds, pour boiling water and after 10 minutes, the skin easily comes off. Now mix the almonds, cinnamon and sugar and burn holes in everything in a food processor until until the mixture begins to gather around the edges of the bowl. Now add in the almond paste 1.5 tbsp orange water (flavored water) and 1 tbsp melted butter. Since I had a ready meal and the mass was dry, I had to add another half tbsp of oil and water.
Almond paste should ultimately lepitsa here in this lump.
Prepare honey mixture, which will be omitted ready hot biscuits - melt in a water bath honey and add 1 tbsp of orange blossom water. The honey should be runny enough.
Almond paste and divide the dough into equal parts.
From the dough roll sausage, with your finger make a shallow furrow. Almond paste is also roll the workpiece, equal in length to the blank from Manne test.
Everything is clear, do not explain.
Roll the sausage a few times back and forth, compacting the dough around the almond filling. The back of a knife, apply the drawing (you can skip this step, it is solely for beauty, no important not important)
Slice the sausages peel (not pressing!) movements at an angle into small pieces. Thus we proceed with the remaining six pieces of pastry and almond paste. I once cut the first sausage began to fry in deep fat, and the rest was rolled and cut, while frying the previous one. But if you're not afraid to calculate the forces, it is better to prepare in advance.
So, prepare everything for the last step - frying the biscuits in oil and soaking it in honey syrup. Pour into a saucepan with a thick bottom with vegetable oil and put it on medium heat. Next to the prepared pan put warm liquid honey-orange syrup, and a colander or sieve, to stack drenched in syrup cookies. The sieve can be put on another pan, and you can hoist it into the pot of syrup to the syrup, draining off the cookies, again drip into the same dish. Once the oil is hot, throw the first batch of cookies, fry till nice Golden colour, remove with a slotted spoon, wait a bit until oil flows and drop in the syrup for 3-5 minutes, the time depends on your desire. Lie down longer, will be more impregnated with honey. Then impregnated with honey biscuits put in a colander, let excess syrup will drain. Finished cookies can be sprinkled with orange zest, sesame seeds or coconut.
