We have handpicked only ten of our favorites from the endless options, so we wouldn\u2019t say this is a definitive ranking from worst to best (because, let\u2019s face it: there is no such thing as &#8220;worst&#8221; in our cuisine #yeah #Lebanese #power), but rather, this is a definitive ranking from okay to fanfreakintastic.<\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>10. Ma\u2019amoul<\/big><\/big><\/b><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32101-10.png\"width=\"100%\"><br \/>  (Photo via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderingspice.com\/2011\/08\/11\/maamoul-date-and-semolina-cookies\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Wanderingspice.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>  Whether it&#8217;s Eid or Easter, the holidays wouldn&#8217;t be complete without trays upon trays of ma\u2019amoul on display at your house, in restaurants &#8211; heck &#8211;  in every corner of our country. Ma\u2019amoul is a shortbread pastry filled with delicious nuts, dates and other fillings delicately rolled in softened sugar.<\/p>\n<p>  We think we can do better than ma\u2019amoul, though.<\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>9. Sfouf\/ Namoura<\/big><\/big><\/b><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32101.png\"width=\"100%\"><br \/>  (Photo via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/223350462743516874\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">pinterest<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>  Sfouf are delicious almond-semolina cakes (our Arab version of cakes) and boy, do they taste good with a cup of warm milk. Namoura are quite similar to sfouf but they\u2019re drenched in syrup and served with an almond on top.<\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>8. Layali Lubnan<\/big><\/big><\/b><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32101-1.png\"width=\"100%\"><br \/>  (Photo via <a href=\"https:\/\/vb.5rbz.com\/t2469\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">vb.5rbz.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>  This cold dessert, which translates in English to \u201cLebanese Nights\u201d, is milk and semolina pudding that is served with whipped cream and pistachio nuts on top. The toppings can always be substituted with fruit (banana is really good, I recommend it) and sugar syrup. <\/p>\n<p>  Hot Lebanese summer nights are not complete without a plate of Layali Lubnan.<\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>7. Awamat<\/big><\/big><\/b><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32101-2.png\"width=\"100%\"><br \/>  (Photo via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recipetrezor.com\/awwamat-crispy-donut-balls-sweet-delicious-and-crispy\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">recipetrezor.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>  The Lebanese version of donuts \u2013 small balls of golden-friend and crisp, cinnamon-infused dough coated in syrup (we really love syrup, don\u2019t we?). Beware: these things are super addictive.<\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>6. Meghli<\/big><\/big><\/b><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32101-3.png\"width=\"100%\"><br \/>  (Photo via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.culture-making.com\/post\/meghli_lebanese_rice_pudding\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">culture-making.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>  Meghli definitely tastes better than it looks \u2013 that\u2019s all I can say. It is a floured rice pudding spiced with cinnamon and anise and served with almonds or coconuts. It\u2019s one of the few Lebanese desserts that are light on the stomach, and that\u2019s why we like it. Meghly is traditioanlly served when a child is born, and also during Christmas and Easter.<\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>5. Znoud el Set<\/big><\/big><\/b><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32101-4.png\"width=\"100%\"><br \/>  (Photo via <a href=\"https:\/\/baroudifirm.com\/alhallab\/gallery\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">baroudifirm.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>  Before we proceed to talk about how these fried babies remind us of heaven, we have to say: what is up with the name? Arms of a lady? Not the most appetizing image. Still doesn\u2019t stop us from enjoying the crisp, cream filled pastry that is fried to perfection and cooled down with coconuts and sweet syrup on the side.<\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>4.

The pastry is filled with layers upon layers of nuts and honey. <\/p>\n<p>  The delicious dessert has even sparked ad wars in the country <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/26760\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">between popular sweets shops<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>2.

The atayef with ashta is not fried, and it is served with (take a wild guess&#8230;) syrup and pistachio nuts. They are fun and easy to make, and believe it or not, are better than regular old English or American pancakes.<\/p>\n<p>  However, the ultimate atayef is the fried one with melted, ricotta cheese waiting to drown in your insides and drown you along with it. <\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>1.

It has a wafting smell that can fill an entire street on its own, and when served with bread it is nothing short of phenomenal.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is one
