Instructions
Step 1
In a water bath pot, over medium heat, put the Akawi cheese in it. Stir the cheese until the water separates and becomes soft.
Step 2
We add semolina gradually to the cheese until it becomes a cohesive dough.
Step 3
We add 1/2 a cup of syrup to the dough, until the syrup soaks with semolina and dough.
Step 4
Add more syrup to the dough if needed, until the dough becomes soft.
Step 5
We put a little bit of syrup on a wide tray, and brush it with it.
Step 6
We put the dough in the tray, and start stretching the dough until it becomes thin.
Step 7
We start by cutting the dough into squares, or any shape or size we want.
Step 8
Prepare the Ashta in a medium saucepan, then put the water, milk and flour, and mix the ingredients well.
Step 9
Stir the mixture on a low heat, until it boils and becomes thick, then add the ready cream to the mixture.
Step 10
Stir the mixture well, and add the blossom water.
Step 11
Pour the Ashta into a bowl and leave it to cool down.
Step 12
We fill the dough with cream, and decorate them the way we like.
