Boil the sugar and water for 11 minutes, add the lemon juice, and set the syrup aside to cool.
Mix the butter, yogurt, and egg, then knead with the flour and baking powder into a dough that does not stick to the hand.
Take small pieces of dough and shape them in your palm into long fingers.
Coat the sweets in semolina and arrange them on the tray with space between them so they can swell with syrup.
Bake in a 180°C oven until the surface is light brown.
Pour the cold syrup over the hot sweets and let them stand for 25 minutes to absorb it.
💡 Tip: Do not shape the pastries too thick; a medium thickness helps the syrup reach the center.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve at room temperature, with unsweetened tea if desired to balance the sweetness.
