Eish al saraya from Qatar (palace's bread)

 Eish al saraya is a dessert from the Middle East , made from bread and syrup with orange blossom water and rose water.

Eish al Saraya means Palace's bread, the name describes the freshness, softness and spectacular taste of this dessert. This is extra easy to prepare and there is no room for errors.

This is a typical dessert from Egypt, Lebanon or Qatar. I have seen several versions of the dessert, some of them use whipped cream for the white layer but the good version uses a unique custard cream.
