All ingredients must be at room temperature. These ingredients make 50 pieces of sekerpare.

For its dough:-

2 cups flour-

½ cup semolina-

½ cups sugar-

1 egg-

125g butter-

1 dessert spoon baking powder-

Hazelnut

For its syrup-

2 cups sugar-

2 ½ cups water-

1 tbsp lemon juice

As we must let the syrup get cold before pouring it on sekerpare cookies, start with making the syrup first.

Pour water and sugar in a pot. Heat them until it boils.

Let it boil about 15 minutes until it reaches the right consistency. Add emon juice and take it from the heat. Put it aside and start preparing the cookies Combine butter, flour, semolina, sugar, an egg and baking powder and knead them well and Preheat the oven at 380F.

Make walnut sized pieces and roll them. Put them in an oiled tray leaving enough space between each as they will rise when cooked.

Place hazelnuts on their top pressing gently. Cook them in oven for 25 minutes until golden.

Pour the syrup when the cookies are stil hot. You can pour it with a ladle on each piece. Wait until the cookies absorb the water. You can serve it with black tea. Note: I make 50 piece from these ngredients, but pour the syrup on 25 of them as I put the other half in refrigerator to make it another time. When I have any unexpected guests, I just prepare the syrup and pour it hot on the cold cookies to serve them tasty sekerpare. Don't forget the rule for pouring syrup on cookies for skerpare. If the cookies are hot, the syrup must be cold or vice versa.

Enjoy
