A Sukkariyya from His Dictation. Take a ratl of sugar, pound and sift. Take a third of a ratl of fresh oil and put it in an earthenware pot, and when it is on the point of boiling, throw in a third of a ratl of white flour and two ûqiyas of breadcrumbs from white wheat or semolina, and stir it two or three times. Throw in the sugar and two ûqiyas of rosewater and scrape it [yuhakk; if not an error for yuharrak, stir it ] until the oil appears as a ring and the fâlû dhaja (pudding) appears combined and coagulated. Take it off the fire, remove the oil and present it, God willing.
