Waiting for a cook

Dziriettes

Algeria

What we know so far

Dziriettes, "the little Algiers ones", are the flower-shaped almond tartlets of the capital's pastry tradition: a thin, unsweetened dough rolled almost transparent, cut into discs, filled with a soft paste of ground almonds, sugar, lemon zest and egg, and pinched or pressed into a fluted flower before baking. Hot from the oven they are dipped in honey scented with orange-blossom water and set in paper cases. No wedding tray, Eid table or engagement in Algiers is complete without them.
