Knead the flour, butter, water, and salt into a short pastry dough.
Mix the raisins, stale cake crumbs, tea, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
Roll the dough into two thin sheets and lay the first sheet in the tray.
Spread the fruit filling over it, cover with the second sheet of dough, and prick the top with a fork.
Bake the gur cake for 35 minutes at 180°C.
Rest the tray for 15 minutes before cutting into squares; cutting it hot scatters the filling.
💡 Tip: If you do not have stale cake crumbs, use plain biscuit crumbs; let the filling stand with tea for 5 minutes until it is moist enough to hold when pressed with a spoon.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve gur cake squares at room temperature with tea.
