100 ml. Orange Blossom Water
200 g. Dates, Pitted
50 g. Walnuts, Chopped

In a bowl, combine semolina, melted butter, and orange blossom water. Knead until you get a soft dough.
In another bowl, combine dates, walnuts, and cinnamon, mix well.
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each one into a thin rectangle. Place a spoonful of the date mixture along the center, then roll the dough around the filling to form a cylinder. Cut into diamond shapes.

Warm the honey and soak the fried pastries in it for a few minutes before draining. Allow to cool before serving.
