Şəkərbura, the essential sweet of Novruz, is made by filling thin rolled dough with a walnut-and-sugar mixture and carefully crimping the edges into a tight pattern. The tighter and more even the crimp, the more it is admired — which is why it ranks among the most labour-intensive cookies in Azerbaijani cooking.
Beat the room-temperature butter with the yoghurt, egg yolk and salt, then gradually add the flour to form a soft dough.
Wrap the dough and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Mix the crushed walnuts with the sugar and cinnamon.
Roll out small circles of dough, place walnut filling on one half, fold over and crimp the edges tightly with your fingers into a pattern.
Brush the cookies with egg yolk and arrange them in the airfryer basket, then cook at 160°C for 15 minutes until lightly coloured. If you don't have an airfryer, bake them in an oven preheated to 160°C for the same time.
Don't try to shape the dough before it has rested — it loses elasticity and the edges crack. A few may come out uneven until you get the hang of the crimping, and that's completely normal. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), milk and dairy, egg and tree nuts (walnut).
If crimping feels difficult, pressing the edges with the back of a fork gives a simple pattern that works just as well; the taste stays the same, only the look is plainer.
Admin DadaGastro · verified in test kitchenAirfryer'da pişirirken kenarlardan ceviz harcı taştı, sepetin sıcaklığı tarifte yazan 160 dereceyle tam uyuşmuyor gibiydi; acaba sorun kapama tekniğimde mi yoksa kullandığım airfryer modelinde mi, deneyimi olan biri yorum yazabilir mi?
Hamuru yalnızca 30 dakika değil bir gece boyunca buzdolabında bekletsem şekillendirmesi daha mı kolay olur, yoksa dinlendirme uzayınca hamur fazla sertleşip kırılgan mı hale gelir diye çekiniyorum, deneyimi olan var mı?
Bir gece bekletmek sorun olmaz, hatta hamur daha kolay açılır; yalnızca dinlendirme öncesi streç filmle sıkıca sarmanız gerekir, yoksa yüzeyi kurur ve kenarları çatlar.
Kenarları kıvırmak ilk seferimde zor geldi ama üçüncü kurabiyeden sonra elim alıştı, ceviz içi tam kıvamındaydı.
