Recipe
Höşmerim is a traditional dessert made from milk, flour, a small amount of salt, sugar, and fat. First, approximately 500 grams of flour are added to 1 kilogram of milk and the mixture is stirred continuously. Fat and salt are then incorporated to ensure a soft texture, and once the desired consistency is achieved, the mixture is removed from the heat. After it cools slightly, it is transferred to a pan and fried thoroughly on both sides. The fried mixture is then placed into covered pans, sugar is sprinkled over it, and it is thus made ready for serving. Höşmerim, which is traditionally offered during the May celebrations (Mayıs basması), was formerly cooked slowly on the top of stoves, a method believed to enhance its flavor
