Erbils

Erbils are a type of sweet confectionery originating from the Middle East, particularly popular in countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. They are typically made from a mixture of flour, sugar, and water, which is then rolled out into thin sheets and cut into various shapes. The sheets are then soaked in a sweet syrup, usually flavored with rose water or orange blossom water, and left to dry. This process gives erbils their characteristic chewy texture and sweet flavor.

Erbils are often enjoyed as a traditional dessert or snack, especially during special occasions and festivals. They are also a popular ingredient in various Middle Eastern dishes, such as baklava and ma'amoul, where they are used to add texture and flavor. The name "erbils" is derived from the Arabic word "arbil," which means "to roll" or "to twist," reflecting the process of making these sweets.

In recent years, erbils have gained international recognition and are now produced and sold in various countries around the world. They are appreciated for their unique taste and cultural significance, making them a beloved treat for many.
