Tahinpare Dessert

A recipe for a syrup-soaked dessert that’s perfect for any table—elegant in presentation, soft as Turkish delight, and absolutely delicious.

Ingredients
  • 125 g butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tea glass semolina
  • 1 tea glass ground walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1.5 water glasses flour
  • 2.5 water glasses water
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 drops lemon juice
Preparation
  1. To make tahinpare, first prepare the syrup and set it aside to cool. Put 2 cups of granulated sugar in a saucepan.
  2. Add 2½ cups of water and 4–5 drops of lemon juice to the sugar. Place the syrup on the stove and stir until the sugar dissolves. Then, bring the syrup to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, simmer the syrup over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. Then remove it from the heat and let it cool. The measuring cup used in this recipe holds 200 ml. A tea cup holds 110 ml.
  3. In a separate deep bowl, place 125 g of room-temperature butter. Crack 1 egg into it.
  4. Next, add 1 tea glass of semolina, 1 tea glass of ground walnuts, and 2 tablespoons of tahini to the bowl.
  5. Finally, gradually add 1 dessert spoon of baking powder, 1 tea spoon of vanilla, and 1½ water glasses of flour to the bowl.
  6. Knead until you have a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.
  7. Take walnut-sized pieces from the prepared dough and roll them into smooth balls with your hands.
  8. Using a knife, lightly press down on each ball to create fine grooves.
  9. Then arrange them in a greased baking dish, leaving space between them.
  10. Bake in a preheated 175-degree oven. Bake for about 30–35 minutes, until the top and bottom are nicely browned.
  11. Then remove the dessert from the oven and let it cool for about 2 minutes to allow the initial heat to subside. Next, pour the cold syrup evenly over the top. Let the dessert cool completely until it has absorbed the syrup.
  12. You can serve the tahinpare dessert garnished with crushed walnuts or ground green pistachios.
