Cakes "of Agua" stuffed with dates

Description

Agua is a Turkish cake of figs. It is cooked quickly and simply. Dough without eggs and sugar, the semolina, the main component and distinguishing feature of the Turkish, and all the Arab sweets. It blends wonderfully with the sweetness of the date filling. Cakes are very tasty. Most importantly, bake them at a high temperature, then they will be crumbly, tender and soft. As closer loved all the holidays, offer to cook cakes in Christmas style in the form of Christmas trees, snowmen and bells. The dough is very pleasant and easy to work with. So with the forming of cakes you can dream up. The cakes I presented as a gift to my bestie alia Alefniunia.

Add 25 g flour and knead the dough. Wrap it in clingfilm and put in the fridge for 15 minutes.
