Directions
This pastry is a part of my childhood.
Usually made for Purim (a Jewish holiday) by Jewish Iraqis.
My grandmother made Ba’ba Ta’mar occasionally and I love them.
A great advantage of the Ba’ba Ta’mar pastry: If you didn’t eat all of them right away you can freeze them.
Coffee break? Just pull a couple out, pop them in the toaster for 2-3 minutes and you are done.

Prepare the Ba’ba Ta’marIt was easy until now... Fill each ball with a teaspoon of the date paste and close well. Using a rolling pin, flatten the filled dough balls to small pita-like discs. * Now would be a good time to preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius. |
