Warbat

Warbat (Arabic: وربات) is a Levantine sweet pastry similar to baklava.

Warbat consists of layers of phyllo dough filled with a semolina based custard,[1][2] though it is sometimes also filled with pistachios, walnuts, almonds,[3] or sweet cheese.

[4] The dessert is topped with a sweet syrup made from sugar, water, and a hint of lemon brought to a boil and then left to cool and thicken.

Warbat is often served during Ramadan.

[6] In Lebanon, as well as in Homs and Hama, the dessert is known as shabiyaat.
