Güllac from the Ottoman Cuisine and Its History? This recipe and...
Ingredients
- 10 güllaç sheets
- 8 glasses of milk
- 2.5 glasses of sugar
- 1 bowl of coarsely chopped hazelnuts
- 3 tablespoons of coconut (optional)
- 2 tablespoons of rose water (optional)
- Coarsely ground hazelnuts, cherries
- You can also serve this with any ingredients you have on hand.
Preparation
- Pour 8 cups of milk into a pot and add the sugar.
- It will reach a consistency where it won’t burn your finger until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the rosewater and turn off the heat.
- Take a güllaç sheet and place it in a baking dish; using a ladle, pour the milk over it so that it covers every part of the sheet.
- Repeat this process until you have five layers. Sprinkle the coarsely chopped hazelnuts evenly over the top.
- Add the remaining güllaç sheets and pour the milk over them using a ladle.
- Let it rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, then decorate as desired and serve. (Garnishing this dessert with pomegranate seeds is also an Ottoman tradition.) I garnished mine with the ingredients I had on hand, just so you know. Note: The longer the güllaç rests, the better and more flavorful it becomes.
