Zlebiye

(زلابية, Zilabiyah)

Zlebiye is a Syrian dessert that is usually enjoyed for breakfast. This traditional dish consists of thinly rolled dough that is shortly deep-fried before it is filled with ashta—Levantine version of clotted cream—and the combination is then generously dusted with powdered sugar and ground cinnamon.


When rolled, the pancake is additionally sprinkled with ground pistachios, and before it is served, it is usually sliced into smaller pieces.
