Makroud is a diamond-shaped semolina pastry filled with a sweet date paste, nuts, or figs, traditionally fried or baked, then soaked in orange blossom honey syrup. This iconic treat is deeply rooted in Algerian cuisine, especially in regions like Tlemcen, Béjaïa, and Constantine, and is commonly prepared for Eid, weddings, and festive gatherings. The dough is made from coarse semolina and clarified butter (smen), giving it a crumbly texture and rich flavor. With Berber origins, Makroud is a beloved pastry across the Maghreb.

Common variations include Makroud el louse (almond-based) and Makroud au four (oven-baked version).
