Nor ‘Shekerpare’

Ingredients

200 g nor cheese
3 eggs
1 cup flour – more if needed
1 cup semolina
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp powdered sugar
100 g margarine – room temperature
1 tsp baking powder
Almonds – blanched & peeled

For the Syrup

3 cups water
2 ½ cups sugar
1 piece lemon slice
1 piece cinnamon stick

Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix together the dough ingredients and knead well. Add more flour if the dough is sticking to your fingers.
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Take walnut-sized pieces from the dough, place on a grease-proof paper-lined baking tray, and place an almond in the middle of each dessert. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, prepare the syrup by heating water, sugar, and the cinnamon stick together. Gently simmer for 15 minutes and add the lemon slices, then turn off the heat.
Turn off the oven, take the desserts from the oven, pour over the syrup, and place back in the warm oven for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, take the desserts back from the oven and rest at room temperature.
Once cold enough, chill in the fridge and serve cold.
