“Luqaimat are small, deep-fried dough balls soaked in date syrup, popular across the Persian Gulf and eaten during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. Their name comes from the Arabic word luqma, meaning “a bite”—luqaimat literally translates to “little bites.” They have crispy shells and soft centers, which makes it hard to eat just one!” —Dona Murad, founder of Librae Bakery
