Kadayıf dolması

Hailing from Erzurum, kadayıf dolması is a Turkish dessert made with thin shreds of kadayıf dough that are wrapped around a nut filling. The dough is flattened and stuffed with roughly chopped or ground nuts before it is rolled into small elongated rolls that are coated in lightly beaten eggs before they are fried.

The fillings usually include pistachios or walnuts, while kaymak—a type of thick clotted cream—is occasionally used as a garnish. Kadayıf dolması is doused in a thick lemon-flavored sugar syrup, and it is usually served topped with ground nuts. It is best enjoyed with a cup of tea on the side.
