Sekerpare
$2.00
This traditional Turkish dessert is called 'şekerpare' ('shek-EYR par-EH'), which means "a piece of sweetness." Try some, and you'll see why it's exactly that.
These sweet, sticky and tender cookies are made from semolina, flour and powdered sugar that are baked golden brown and left to steep in sweet, lemony syrup.
Şekerpare is made in nearly every Turkish household, sold in every Turkish bakery and sweet shop and appears on nearly every Turkish restaurant menu. It is one of the most popular Turkish sweets after baklava.
