Production Method

The preparation of Kırşehir höşmerim tatlısı follows specific ingredients and steps. The ingredients include three glasses of milk, four glasses of flour, two eggs, one and a half glasses of sugar, two tablespoons of unsalted butter, half a teaspoon of salt, and half a glass of sunflower oil. Optionally, one glass of chopped walnuts or pistachios may be used as a topping.


The production steps are as follows: In a medium-depth container, two eggs and half a teaspoon of salt are whisked until homogeneous. Three glasses of milk and four glasses of flour are then added and mixed until a medium-consistency dough is formed. Next, two tablespoons of unsalted butter are melted and added to the dough. The mixture is continuously stirred and cooked over medium heat without frying until it begins to clump, approximately five to seven minutes. At this point, half a glass of sunflower oil and half a glass of sugar are added. When the dough loses its stickiness and begins to separate into individual grains, the heat is turned off. The cooked dessert is transferred to a serving plate; one glass of powdered sugar is sprinkled on top, and walnuts or pistachios are added optionally. Mastery is required in its preparation.
