Original name
Almakroute
Even if it is widely appreciated and recognized in Morocco, we must admit that this cakes' roots are more from the neighboring countries: Tunisia and Algeria.
In Morocco, it is the specialty of the city of Oujda and its region (the northeast of Morocco), where it has certainly been introduced by Algerians with whom borders are not far away.Tubes of semolina pasta are prepared with a dates paste insert flavored with cinnamon and orange flower. Tubes are then cut into lozenges, fried in vegetable oil and then soaked in a syrup of honey-lemon-orange. A unique mixture of flavors!rnGiven the complexity of this preparation, it is important to know that Makroute could be easily found in pastries in Morocco.
