Ingredients
- Doughnuts:
- 8 cups pastry flour
- 1 qt. laban- Use Jimrug's recipe http://www.grouprecipes.com/41052/homemade-yogurt-laban.html
- 1/2 tsp. soda

- Sugar Syrup or Qater or 'Atr:
- Dissolve sugar in water and boil rapidly.
- Remove foam which rises to top.
- Add orange blossom water and lemon juice and continue boiling until syrup resembles thin honey.
- Add rose water last to preserve its essence.

To be honest I haven't made any oriental desserts. I could try to research and find a recipe and than make it. If it turned out good I will post, but it might be awhile. When I do so, I'll pm you.
