Thanks to everyone for your comments, I agree that the oil to flour ratio does make me feel better about the quantity of oil used. The flavours are lovely and the sweet syrup is gorgeous, it’s like biscuits and baklava mixed together.

These look great, reminds me of the sweets you see at the middle eastern grocery stores!

Oh yummo!! These looked great. I don’t seem to be scared off with cups of butter or oil in sweet food, but for some reason it scares me in savoury food. Go figure?

How interesting – when I first begun baking, it was the opposite for me! What’s a cup of oil, I thought, it’s just liquid right? But I do love baking with oil, particularly in carrot, banana or spice cakes, the resulting texture so moist. I can’t recall having used them in biscuits yet… hmmm, looks pretty inviting!

You always come up with the most delicious recipes. I probably wouldn’t think to make these, but after seeing your photos, I’ll give it a try!

Wow you’re such a proficient cook & baker! Especially love that photo with the oil too. Thosen oil droplets look like a liquid honeycomb structure

They look so wonderful and cute. I think the cup of oil is more than justified judging from your results. I especially love the photo with the oil droplets forming on the top of the bowl.

These look fabulous Anita and just like the ones I’ve tried I’ve always wondered how to make them. I should have known that Taste would have the answer.
