Baraziq

mursalin
Despite its simplicity of ingredients, Al-Baraziq remained one of the most famous Arabic sweets, especially one of the best Syrian desserts in Eid, perhaps because its name is strange, distinctive and incomprehensible, or perhaps because one of its most important components is Arabic ghee, which is used in making most of the Arab sweets.
