Şekerpare
Şekerpare is a popular Turkish dessert that is a type of pastry. It is a small, round, and semi-soft sweet pastry, traditionally baked in the oven and then soaked in a sweet syrup. The name şekerpare is derived from the Turkish words şeker, meaning sugar, and pare, meaning piece.
Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients of şekerpare are flour, butter, powdered sugar, baking powder, and egg. The dough is mixed and then shaped into small balls or diamonds before being baked. After baking, the pastries are soaked in a syrup made from sugar, water, and lemon juice. The syrup is absorbed by the hot pastries, making them sweet and moist.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of şekerpare across different regions in Turkey. Some recipes include semolina in the dough, while others use almonds or pistachios for added flavor and texture. In some regions, honey is used in place of sugar for the syrup.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
Şekerpare is often served during special occasions and celebrations in Turkey, such as Ramadan and weddings. It is also a common dessert in Turkish homes and is often served with Turkish tea.
