Arabic luqaimat is made from a leavened yeast dough fashioned into bite-sized doughnut balls. Also known as sweet dumplings, these treats are fried to golden perfection, covered with homemade simple syrup with rosewater, and sprinkled with nuts. Luqaimat may, as ours are, be stuffed with delicious fillings. Popular choices include soft and slightly savoury cream cheese, crunchy nuts, and more modern options like chocolate or hazelnut spread.
