Here they are..the traditional Qagħaq tal-Għasel, also known as honey rings. Filled with treacle/golden syrup and other festive ingredients. We have them all year round but especially around Christmas time. We like the pastry particularly thin but feel free to adjust according to your taste. The filling is divine! Don’t be shy..give it a try..
Bring all the ingredients except for the semolina to the boil while stirring. Add the semolina very slowly stirring all the time. Once boiled cook it for a couple of minutes longer, continuously stirring. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate overnight. Cut the pastry into 8 pieces and roll each into a rectangle. Scatter a working surface with semolina and roll spoonfuls of the filling into a snake shape and roll it up. Make a ring shape by pushing the two ends into each other Cut slashes into the pastry around the ring Bake at 180C for about 15 minutes.Qagħaq tal-Għasel - Honey Rings
