Give them a quick mix. Next, pour in the milk, sunflower oil, ghee, and rose water. Knead with your hands until a soft, malleable dough forms. Let it rest for 3 minutes.<!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/p>\n<p><!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 2<\/strong>: Shape the Distinctive Logs<!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/p>\n<p>Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, roughly the size of an apricot. Press each ball firmly onto a standard kitchen grater to flatten it into a circle (about \u00bd inch \/ 1.25 cm thick). This creates the iconic impression on the surface. Gently roll the flattened piece upward into a finger-like log shape.<!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/p>\n<p><!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 3<\/strong>: Fry to Golden Perfection<!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/p>\n<p>Heat your frying oil to 350\u00b0F (177\u00b0C). Fry the Ma&#8217;akaron in batches of 12. As soon as they begin to take on a golden color, reduce the heat to medium. This ensures a perfectly crisp outside without burning. Each batch takes approximately 7\u20138 minutes.<!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/p>\n<p><!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 4<\/strong>: Soak in Orange Blossom Sugar Syrup (Atter)<!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/p>\n<p>Using a slotted spoon, remove the hot fritters from the oil and drop them immediately into a bowl of cooled, orange blossom water-scented sugar syrup (Atter).
