Shekerpare Recipe
This was also among my recipes that were made a long time ago and waiting to be published. For some reason I wanted to post it today. I used to go easy on Mondays, thinking that people would prefer easy meals. However, after a good weekend, when I started the day with high energy, I chose the recipe a little hard. Don't mind when I say it's hard. In general, people have a difficult perception against sorbet desserts. That's why I said it's hard. It's actually a really easy recipe. The only problem is to adjust the temperature of the syrup.
The syrup should not be too hot so that the sekerpares do not become too soft, and the syrup should not be cold so that they absorb the syrup well. The recipe has no difficulties other than this fine-tuning.
The dough is like the cookie dough we know. It is not possible for them to remain raw when they are cooked at the said temperature until they are well browned. The consistency of the syrup does not affect the recipe either. All you have to do is follow the recipe to the letter and trust your instincts while pouring the syrup, then sit back and accept compliments.
Enjoy the recipe...
