Kayseri hurması, made by shaping yeast-risen dough into date shapes, frying it in hot oil, and then soaking it in syrup, is one of the distinctive desserts of Kayseri cuisine. With its light interior and syrupy exterior, it's enjoyed with pleasure.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Activate the yeast

10 min

Add the fresh yeast and sugar to the warm water, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.

2

Knead the dough

20 min

Add the flour and salt, knead into a soft dough, cover, and let rise for 20 minutes.

3

Prepare the syrup

10 min

Boil the sugar and water, add the lemon juice, boil for another 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.

4

Shape and fry

20 min

Pinch off pieces of dough and shape into date-like ovals, then fry in hot oil until golden brown.

5

Soak in the syrup

5 min

Dip the hot fried sweets into the cold syrup and let them soak thoroughly.

Reminder

Important: Dip the fried sweets in cold syrup while they're hot, or in hot syrup once they've cooled, or they won't absorb the syrup fully. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a few drops of lemon juice to the syrup keeps the dessert from crystallizing and preserves its freshness.
