Method

1. 1

   For the syrup, boil water and sugar in a pot, add lemon juice once boiling, and let it cool.

2. 2

   In a bowl, knead flour, egg, oil, warm milk, and baking powder until you get a soft dough.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into walnut-sized pieces and roll them out thinly using flour.

4. 4

   Sprinkle generous amounts of ground hazelnuts over the rolled dough and cut into strips.

5. 5

   Roll the strips into spirals and place them on a greased baking sheet with space between them.

6. 6

   Pour melted butter over the pastries and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden brown.

7. 7

   Pour the cold syrup over the hot dessert straight from the oven and let it rest to absorb.

Note. Let the dessert lose its initial heat after taking it from the oven, then pour the cold syrup to prevent sogginess.
