Those soft, yeast-dough-smelling pastries that we bought from corner vendors or patisseries before boarding the ferry from Karaköy... They always made us happy with a cup of tea on the ferry. The natural recipe, which became famous over time, spread all over Istanbul. Patisseries have sought the secrets of their recipes in order to make the softest and most delicious ones. We can't find that flavor anymore except for a few patisseries or street vendors in Karaköy. Let us tell you the secrets of its soft texture and recapture that flavor at home.
The secret is to use butter or margarine, and use warm water instead of yoghurt. These are the two most important ingredients for that soft taste. Its shape comes from applying tiny touches with a fork after applying egg yolk. Here are the pastries you have always been looking for with a very practical recipe !
