Ingredients:
- 150g butter or margarine (room temperature)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup yogurt
- ½ cup semolina
- 1 egg
- 1 packet of vanilla
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3-3.5 cups flour (add gradually)
- For filling: 1 bowl of coarsely ground walnuts or pistachios
- For syrup: 3 cups sugar, 3 cups water, a few drops of lemon juice
- For garnish: Powdered pistachios
Instructions:
- Start by preparing the syrup. In a pot, combine water, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. The syrup should be slightly thick.
- For the dough, mix butter, oil, yogurt, vinegar, and egg. Add semolina.
- Gradually incorporate flour, cornstarch, vanilla, and baking powder. Be careful with the flour to avoid a dough that’s too hard or too soft.
- Take walnut-sized dough pieces, press onto a Kalburabastı mold, add nuts in the center, and seal.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) until golden brown (about 30-35 minutes).
- Remove from the oven and pour cold syrup over the hot Kalburabastı. Let it rest for at least two hours, occasionally turning them for even absorption.
