2- Add egg yolks, saffron, cardamom and rose to the ingredients and stir for about 1 minute until completely mixed.
3- Mix yogurt and baking powder in a separate bowl and let it rest for a few minutes. Then add them to the pastry and stir a little.
4- Mix the flours together and sift. Finally, add them to the ingredients and mix the ingredients with a spoon or your fingers to get a dough.
5. Cover the dough or put it in a bag, leave it at room temperature (preferably cool) for 6 hours and let it rest.
6- If you have wheels and tubes, pass the dough through it. Pour the dough into the meat grinder, put a board at the exit, after leaving the dough, divide it into suitable pieces using a knife.
7- Grease the oven tray and put greaseproof paper inside it. Put the doughs in it at a distance from each other, sprinkle portulaca seeds on half of them and put them in the oven, which has already been preheated to 170 degrees, for 15 minutes.
8- After 15 minutes, take the sweets out of the oven. After they have cooled completely, sprinkle pistachio powder on the other half of them and enjoy.
Important Notes:
– Use quality oil. Improper oil spoils the sweetness. You can also use pure confectionery oil instead of solid oil.
– You can use an electric meat grinder or a manual meat grinder to grind the dough. If you do not have a meat grinder, you can use the desired mold or funnel and pipette. To mold the dough, open it between two sheets of greaseproof paper using a rolling pin and mold using a cutting cutter.
– If some of the dough pieces do not turn out the way you want, put them back in the meat grinder and grind again.
– You can use portulaca oleracea, pistachio powder and coconut powder to decorate the pastry.
– Rest the dough to grind rice flour. But do not rest it for more than 6 hours. Because the baking powder in it spoils the dough.
– Add cardamom to the ingredients of the desired pastry. If you do not want the color of your pastry to be dull, you can remove cardamom from its ingredients.
– Do not knead the dough too much because it will fall into the oil and harden.
– Be sure to preheat the oven for 15 minutes before placing the sweets in the oven.
– Be sure to pass the rice flour and powdered sugar through the silk, and the flour through a sieve to soften and have a softer sweetness.
– After adding yogurt to the ingredients, do not stir it too much so that the yogurt does not melt.
– They also make wheel sweets in the form of cocoa. Just add a little cocoa powder to the ingredients.
– In many recipes, if saffron is added, cardamom and rose are removed.
– The shelf life of wheel sweets is long and it is the best option for your Eid sweets.
