How do you make düğme dessert? Learn the easiest recipe for düğme dessert at home, step by step, with tips and tricks! Here’s the semolina düğme dessert that soaks up all the syrup!
Ingredients
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 3 cups water
- 2–3 drops lemon juice
- 1 egg
- 1 teacup yogurt
- 1 teacup vegetable oil
- 1.5 cups semolina
- 1 cup flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 packet vanilla
- Grated zest of 1/2 orange
Preparation
- To make button cookies, start by preparing the syrup. Mix the sugar and water, but do not bring to a boil. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into it. Once the sugar has dissolved, the syrup is ready. The syrup should be cold, and the cookies should be warm.
- For the dessert dough, knead all the ingredients together in a bowl. Break off walnut-sized pieces, roll them into balls with your hands, and arrange them spaced apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C on the top-and-bottom heat setting (without fan) until golden brown (about 20–25 minutes).
- As soon as the dessert comes out of the oven, pour the cold syrup over it. Return the baking sheet to the oven and let the syrup soak into the dessert thoroughly using the oven’s residual heat. Don’t worry if the syrup seems like too much; it will all be absorbed.
- Let it sit on the baking sheet for about 2 hours, then transfer the dessert to the refrigerator to cool. The dessert can also be prepared a day in advance. The button dessert is ready to serve!
