Nightingale's nest is one of the most popular and classic flavors of sherbet desserts . The crispy dumpling, which has a hollow middle and puckered edges, takes its name from its shape. It is decorated with walnuts or powdered pistachios. The recipe has certain tricks.
If you think you can use a rolling pin so easily that nightingale nests come true, let's take you to the kitchen.
Start by making the syrup. Add sugar and water to the pot, mix and let it boil. When it starts to boil, add lemon juice and cook on low heat for a while longer.
Combine all ingredients for the dough except flour and baking powder.
Add the flour and baking powder little by little and knead. Divide the resulting dough into two equal parts.
Roll out the dough to half a cm thickness using a rolling pin.
Cut into round shapes using the rim of a tea glass. Place in a greased baking tray.
Roll out the second piece of dough in the same way, cut it, and then make a hole in the middle using a smaller piece.
Brush the dough in the tray with egg whites. Place the ring-shaped dough on top. Brush each one with egg yolk.
Place walnuts into the nests and place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees. Bake for about 20 minutes in a controlled manner.
Pour the cold syrup over the hot dessert.
Serve once the syrup has been absorbed. Enjoy your meal.
