Sold frozen and can be fried or baked.

Baking:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Arrange the frozen pastries on the sheet, leaving space between them.

3. Lightly brush the tops with melted butter or vegetable oil to help them brown.

4. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and golden and top with powdered sugar!

Deep-Frying (Traditional):

1. Heat your vegetable oil to 350°F to 400°F

2. Lower the frozen imqaret gently into the hot oil in small batches. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the oil temperature will drop too fast.

3. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the pastry turns deep golden brown

4. Drain on paper towels and top with powdered sugar
