For the syrup, boil the sugar and water for 12 minutes, add the lemon juice, and cook for 3 more minutes.
Remove the syrup from the heat and cool for 30 minutes.
Whisk the eggs, flour, starch, water, baking powder, and salt into a flowing batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot to 175°C and warm the iron mold in the oil for 4 minutes.
Dip the hot mold into the batter without covering the edges, immediately lower it into the oil, and wait 35 seconds for the batter to release.
Fry the sweets for 2 minutes, until both sides are golden.
Transfer the fried sweets to the cold syrup, wait 2 minutes, then move them to a wire rack.
💡 Tip: Heat the iron mold in the hot oil before every dip; at home, batter sticking to the mold on the first tries is usually caused by a cold mold.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: After removing the sweets from the syrup, rest them on a wire rack for 5 minutes and serve with plain tea or ice cream without kaymak if desired.
