Como fazer Ma Amoul Lebanese Date Stuffed Pastries

Combine 1 cup pitted Medjool dates and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until dates are softened (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Sift 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour into a large bowl. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled, diced unsalted butter. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons orange blossom water (or rose water) and 2 tablespoons of water.
Gradually add the orange blossom/rose water mixture to the flour and butter mixture. Use a round-bladed knife or a fork to gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Form the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take a spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of dough and roll it into a small ball. Make a small indentation in the center using your thumb or finger. Spoon a small amount of the cooled date filling into the indentation.
Gently pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the filling completely, forming a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Arrange the Ma'amoul on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each pastry.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are lightly golden brown. Loosely cover with foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Once completely cooled, roll the Ma'amoul in sifted powdered sugar.
