Lebanese rolls

When Eric and I were dating/engaged his mom made these roll for us probably a few times. They are a very popular Anderson meal. Because they take a lot of work/time and they are not umm... the healthiest meal, they are a nice treat every once in a while.

 As I remember now almost six years ago now I said I would probably never make these. One because I don't really do a lot of fried food and two it is just about impossible to replicate a meal "just like moms" ;)

 So yes after almost six years I broke down and decided to make Kris' famous Lebanese rolls. I had gotten the recipe a few months ago but still was pretty hesitant to make them. Last Sunday I (there may have been a little encouragement ;) decided to make them for our "Sunday treat". I will admit I did underestimate the time to would take me to make them, so we had them a little later then I anticipated. 

 As you can see the recipe makes quite a bit. The bigger ones I had stuffed with the meat mixture. The smaller pieces I tossed in powered sugar and cinnamon sugar for the dessert option. They went over really well with the boys. Although it was funny that Thomas really like the bread so with the meat ones he ate all around the bread. And Sup really like the meat so he was digging into the roll just to get the meat. 

Of course everyone loved the dessert ones. We dipped them in chocolate or strawberry syrup and the boys loved that. Amazing I thought I would have to freeze some but with packing them for Eric's lunches and Sup loved eating them cold as a snack our little family ate the rest of them up in four days :)
