This is my friend Yvette's recipe she is from Lebanon. Who doesn't love it? My daughter in law makes them the best, so say my kids, but she got the recipe from me, I got mine from my mother in law, but Yvette seems easier to make. I did mention she is going to write an Americanised version, didn't I?
