Mix the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves, without boiling the syrup.
Mix the egg, yogurt, vegetable oil, and lemon zest.
Add the semolina, flour, baking powder, and vanilla, then make a soft dough.
Take walnut-size pieces of dough and coat them in semolina.
Arrange the sweets on a tray and bake at 180°C for 22 minutes.
Pour the cold syrup over the hot sweets as they come out of the oven.
Rest the dessert for 15 minutes so it absorbs the syrup.
💡 Tip: Using the syrup cold and unboiled keeps hira dessert firm outside and soft inside.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle with finely ground pistachios or coconut and serve with tea.
