Waiting for a cook
Morocco
Fekkas are Morocco's twice-baked biscuits, the cousins of Italian biscotti: a log of egg, sugar and oil dough with whole almonds, raisins, aniseed and sesame is half-baked, rested, sliced thin and baked again until dry and crunchy. They are the biscuit for mint tea, kept in tins for guests, and broken into a bowl of warm milk for breakfast. The classic msseoues version has almonds and raisins; there are also sesame-only, cranberry and pistachio versions from newer kitchens.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 12 ingredients and 9 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
