Boil the sugar and water for 12 minutes, add the lemon juice, and cool the syrup.
Knead a soft dough with the flour, egg, yogurt, half of the melted butter, vegetable oil, vinegar, and baking powder.
Rest the dough for 20 minutes.
Roll the dough thinly with starch and cut out rounds.
Place walnuts on each round and fold it closed like a half moon.
Arrange the pastries on a tray and drizzle the remaining melted butter over them.
Bake in a 180?C oven for 35 minutes, until browned.
Pour the cold syrup over the hot pastries and let them rest.
💡 Tip: Cold syrup and hot pastries help this dessert keep its crispness while absorbing the syrup in a controlled way.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: After the pastries have absorbed their syrup, serve them with ground pistachio and plain Turkish coffee.
