Qagħaq tal-għasel (Maltese, "honey rings") are traditional Maltese Christmas biscuits made from a pastry filled with a sweet mixture of treacle, semolina, and festive spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Historically, honey was used as the primary sweetener, which is reflected in the dish's name, but over time, treacle became more common in the filling. The biscuits are formed into rings, baked, and often served with tea or coffee. They remain a popular treat throughout the year, though they are especially associated with the festive season in Malta.
