Şekerpare is one of the best-loved syrup desserts of Turkish cuisine. According to the manufacturer, it is a traditional sweet made by shaping dough into small rounds, baking them and then pouring syrup over them, so that the sweetness of the syrup meets a soft, tender crumb. This Ege pack holds 250 g of the baked pieces, ready for you to finish at home.
Because the pieces are supplied dry, the syrup is prepared in your own kitchen: boil sugar, water and a few drops of lemon juice, let the syrup cool a little, then pour it over the şekerpare and leave them to soak, following the directions on the pack. Serve at room temperature with a cup of Turkish tea or coffee, and add crushed pistachios, hazelnuts or a spoonful of clotted cream (kaymak) for a more festive plate. It is a popular choice for holidays, celebrations and visiting guests.
Store the pack in a cool, dry place and keep it closed to protect the texture. Please read the ingredient and allergen panel on the pack before serving, especially if anyone at the table has a food allergy.
