Sekerpare - Turkish dessert

Şekerpare is one of the several popular and traditional Turkish desserts besides baklava, künefe, sütlaç, tulumba, aşure, lokma etc. It is prepared by baking soft balls of pastry, then dipped in thick lemon sugar syrup.

Before we left for India, everyone worried about...

To my mind only a few people makes néró at home up to this day, I think most of them dare not go about it because they consider this pastry a typical confectionery cake what they can't prepare at home. However this won't beat me, I thought. I sent the recipe to mum to know when I go home for the weekend, we will bake nero. On Friday evening as...
