Boil the sugar, water, and lemon juice for 8 minutes, add the rose water, and cool.
Make a flowing batter with the flour, starch, yeast, sugar, salt, and warm water.
Rest the batter covered until risen.
Take small portions of batter and drop them into hot oil.
Fry the bites until golden, then drain excess oil.
Place the hot bites in cold syrup, let them sit briefly, and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not make the batter too stiff; a slow falling spoonable texture fries into hollow, crisp bites.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve immediately after syruping, optionally with plain Turkish coffee.
