This is a traditional recipe from Mardin, a city located in the southeast of Turkey.
Makes 6 servings
1 cup pekmez (grape, carob, or mulberry molasses) * 1 cup of flour * 5 cups water * 1/2 cup sugar * cinnamon powder
To garnish:
Cinnamon sticks * walnuts
Mix the molasses with the sugar, the flour and the water. Bring to low heat and let it boil for some minutes. Add some cinnamon powder. Take from the fire and pour in small bowls or in a big pyrex tray. Put in the fridge and serve cold. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and some walnuts.
Pekmez is a kind of syrup or molasses, available in Turkey in three varieties: grape, carob or mulberry. These are the most common, but the pekmez is also produced with other fruits. The pekmez doesn’t have any addition of sugar and is a very healthy sugar substitute. When it is mixed with tahini becomes very similar to chocolate.
