Nothing says more about Eid el Fitr than having Kahk, Petit Four, and biscuits for breakfast with your family in the morning. Although we usually get them store-bought, baking them at home just has a different feel to it that reminds us of simpler times, of our beautiful grandmas and great-grandmas who baked them for many years, marking it as a beautiful tradition every Eid that we love dearly.
