Nevzine dessert, which belongs to Kayseri, contains tahini and molasses.

It is a dessert prepared by pressing a firm dough into a tray and baking it.

NEVZINE DESSERT INGREDIENTS

  • 130 g butter
  • 1 tea glass of vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons of tahini
  • 3 tablespoons of yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon of vinegar
  • 4-4.5 cups of flour
  • 1 packet of baking powder
  • 1 cup of coarsely crushed walnuts

For the Syrup:

  • 1 +¼ cups of granulated sugar
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • 1 tea glass of molasses

HOW TO MAKE NEVZINE DESSERT

  • First, prepare the syrup. To do this, put the sugar and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Add the lemon juice. Let the syrup boil over medium heat for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it cool. After it cools, add the molasses and mix.
  • Place the butter, vegetable oil, tahini, yogurt, egg, and vinegar into a mixing bowl and whisk with a wire whisk. Add the baking powder.
  • Slowly add the flour and continue mixing with the whisk. When it becomes difficult to mix with the whisk, gather the dough with your hands to obtain a firm dough.
  • Add the walnuts, mix, and press the dough into the baking dish you will use. I used a square glass baking dish; you can use any baking dish you like, as long as the dough is not too thick.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until the top of your dessert is well browned. It took 40 minutes to bake in my oven.
  • Remove the baked dough from the oven, wait 1-2 minutes, and then pour the syrup over it.
