1. Dough Preparation: The dough is made by mixing semolina, flour, butter, eggs, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and lemon or orange zest. The ingredients are combined to form a soft dough.
2. Shaping: The dough is divided into small portions and shaped into small, round balls. These are then slightly flattened.
3. Baking: The shaped dough is placed on a baking tray and baked in a preheated oven until they are golden brown.
4. Syrup Preparation: While the pastries are baking, a syrup is prepared by boiling water, sugar, and lemon juice together until the sugar is completely dissolved.
5. Soaking: Once the pastries are baked, they are removed from the oven and immediately soaked in the hot syrup. This allows the pastries to absorb the syrup, giving them their characteristic moist texture.

Ekerpare is typically served at room temperature. It can be garnished with pistachios or coconut flakes for added flavor and presentation. The dessert is often enjoyed with a cup of Turkish tea or coffee.
