Kurabiye ~ Turkey - Twitchin Kitten - 07-28-2009 These are wonderful cookies that are delicious dunked in coffee. Kurabiye calories: 147 per 2 oz. (I will weigh each cookie next time I make these and alter the thread.) Serves 15 Preheat the oven to 375° F Ingredients:
Glaze: 1 egg yolk whisked with 1 tsp water Cream the powdered sugar and vanilla with butter. Add the eggs and mix then slowly add the flour and baking powder. Make sure everything is well mixed. The dough should be soft. Divide the dough in 16-18 pieces. First roll each piece into a long stick (about a foot long) and then lift and wind into some kind of braid. This is easy to do - Take the 'stick' and lift it by each end, gently - then let the middle fall onto the surface and twist the ends one over the other. As you get the knack for manipulating dough, you'll soon be doing this with a flick of the wrist! Put parchment paper on an oven tray and arrange the cookies on it. Egg wash the tops, then sprinkle some *sesame seeds on the tops. (sesame seeds optional) Bake for about 25 minutes or until the tops take a golden color. Place on a wire rack to cool down. These remind me of the cookies we would get as kids in the Arab grocery when they came in fresh. Makes 16-18 Kurabiye [attachment=77] RE: Kurabiye ~ Turkey - Twitchin Kitten - 07-30-2009 I made these yesterday. The were good, but not photo worthy. Don't listen to the instructions about rolling them out about a foot long!!! It makes them too thin and long. Roll them fat and long enough for only one and a half twists. Matt ate 14 of them and I had two. I'm going to try these again just so I can get a picture. Besides, Matt ate them anyway so he'll have something to take with him in his lunch too. RE: Kurabiye ~ Turkey - Twitchin Kitten - 01-15-2016 I made these a little while back and again, I changed the shape. This works out the best in my opinion. They look close to those Stella D'Oro Breakfast Treats and we now call them "Twitchy D'Oro Breakfast Treats here! [attachment=128] |
