1. 1 Mix the flour, semolina flour, yeast, and warm water together until a smooth batter is formed, then let it rest for 30 minutes until bubbles appear.
2. 2 Boil sugar with water, lemon juice, and orange blossom water for 10 minutes to make a syrup, then let it cool.
3. 3 Pour the batter onto a non-stick pan, frying each side for 2 minutes until the top is evenly pitted and slightly dry.
4. 4 Place ricotta cheese or crushed walnuts mixed with sugar in the center of each pastry.
5. 5 Fold the pastry in half and press the edges together tightly to form a crescent shape.
