A staple of Azerbaijan's Novruz celebrations, these cookies are made by twisting delicate, buttery dough into thin strips. They bake at a low temperature and are taken out pale golden, before their color darkens.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the dough

8 min

Beat the room-temperature butter with the confectioners' sugar until smooth and light. Mix in the egg, yogurt, vanilla and salt. Gradually add the flour to make a soft dough that does not stick to your hands.

2

Twist the strips

7 min

Break off small pieces of dough and roll into narrow strips about the thickness of a finger. Fold each strip in half and twist from the ends to form an Azerbaijani-style ring.

3

Bake

13 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 160°C / 320°F until pale golden on top. Do not let the cookies turn dark brown.

Reminder

Do not twist the dough too tightly; looser shapes open out more evenly as they bake. If the oven is too hot, the cookies can darken in a few minutes, so watch the baking time closely for the first batch. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), milk and dairy products, and eggs.

Hamuru pudra şekeriyle çırparken yeterince havalandıramadım galiba, şerit burma aşamasında sürekli kırıldı ve düzgün halka olmadı. 160 derecede 13 dakika pişirdim ama kenarları benim fırınımda daha çabuk koyulaştı, bir dahaki sefere ısıyı biraz düşüreceğim.
