sometimes. She orders it from a Persian bakery in Phoenix and tells them exactly how she wants it prepared. More butter and lots of nuts.

I love it even though it can make my teeth hurt because it is so sweet.

by the way, Persian food is awesome!

Needless to say, delectable goodies at their bake sales and especially the annual festival. We loaded up the freezer! It was months of baking to accomplish. I did 'help' some in the festival's Loukoumades booth a couple of years. Sweet dough puffs napped in honey lemon syrup and then dusted with cinnamon. What's not to love! 😁
