I have 3 questions. <br />Do you put an egg wash on them? <br />Also, many recipes I have seen online use yeast rather than baking powder. Are the ma'amoul made with yeast lighter? <br />I found mine were a bit grainy - I could feel/taste the semolina flour. Is that the way they should be? <br />Always interesting to figure out if my cookie is authentic when I have never tasted them before! thanks for all the wonderful recipes.

Remove the skins of the apricots- either peel them or blanch them to do so. Then proceed with the recipe, you may need to cook the puree longer so that it is thick and not watery. <br /><br />Here's an example of blanching apricots for reference: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/23/health/nutrition/23recipehealth.htmlMercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097330009175643958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-50239808658958818832011-06-25T23:50:47.222-05:002011-06-25T23:50:47.222-05:00Wow, I've never tried apricot ones.

I tried making ma'amoul a long time again when I didn't know what semolina flour was and used cornmeal instead...not the worse thing ever, but they definitely turned out strange and crunchy-ish.
