Steps for Preparing Halawa Tahini Maamoul:

Preparing the Dough:

  1. In a deep bowl, combine the flour, room-temperature butter, baking powder, salt, vegetable oil, and liquid milk.
  2. Mix the ingredients well and knead with your hands until the dough becomes firm and well-combined.

Preparing the Filling:

  2. Add the pistachios to the mixture and continue mixing until all ingredients are well-blended.

Assembling the Maamoul:

  1. Divide the dough into small circles.
  2. Take one dough circle and gently create an indentation in the center. Fill it with a portion of the prepared filling, then shape it back into a small ball.
  3. Place the stuffed dough ball into a silicone cake mold to shape it into the traditional maamoul form.
  4. Repeat the process until all dough and filling are used.

Baking:
