How to make Erzurum stuffed kadayıf? Here is the step by step recipe:

Step 1: Sherbet Preparation

First, let's start by preparing the sherbet, which is the most important element of stuffed kadayıf. The sherbet should be cold and should enhance its flavor when poured over the dessert.

After the syrup is prepared, we can move on to preparing the kadayıf. Carefully break the wire kadayıf into pieces with your hands without tearing it. Lay the pieces on a flat surface. Put some walnuts in the middle of each kadayıf piece. The important thing here is to wrap the kadayıf in the form of dolma without squeezing it too tightly. This will ensure that the dolmas take a nice shape while cooking.

Step 3: Egg Laying Process

Into a bowl break the eggs and beat well. Dip the prepared kadayif dolmas into the beaten egg. Make sure that all sides of the dolmas are covered with egg.

Step 4: Frying and Sherbeting

Fry the kadaif dolmas with the drained egg in hot oil until they reach a golden yellow color. Immediately put the fried dolmas into the cold syrup and wait for 1-2 minutes. In this way, your kadaif dolmas will be crispy on the outside and soft and syrupy on the inside. Erzurum kadaif dolma is ready to serve after this stage.
