Despite its simplicity and lack of ingredients, Al-Barazek remained one of the most famous Arabic sweets, especially one of the best Syrian dishes, perhaps because its name is strange, distinctive and incomprehensible, or perhaps because one of its most important ingredients is Arabic ghee, which is used in making most Arabic sweets.
