This is a quick meal\/dessert that’s made in Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, Spain, and a few other places. The name “Kuymak” is the Turkish one which is used in Spanish as well. It can be served as a dessert since it’s sweet, but containing flour, sugar and butter, it’s got a lot of calories and will give you good energy even if server as a meal.<\/p>\n

In Iran this is given to the\u00a0ladies in their\u00a0postpartum period, but nothing wrong to make it without this excuse! The following measures are for five portions.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wheat (or rice) flour 5 tbsp<\/li>\n
  2. Sugar\/caster sugar\/cane sugar 1 cup<\/li>\n
  3. Butter or veg. oil 50gr<\/li>\n
  4. Saffron<\/li>\n
  5. 1, 2 glasses of cold water<\/li>\n
  6. Cardamom (optional)<\/li>\n
  7. Rosewater (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Sift the flour (twice or more) and roast the flour in a pot on low\/medium stove for a few minutes until the color changes from white to gold, and you feel the smell. Keep stirring from the beginning to avoid chunks of flour after the meal is cooked.<\/p>\n

    \"roast<\/a><\/p>\n

    As soon as you notice the roast smell and color, add the butter\/oil and keep stirring for some more. After a few minutes, add the rest of ingredients including water, brewed saffron, sugar, cardamom and rosewater (these two are just to give a bit of scent).<\/p>\n

    Keep stirring until everything is dissolved well, and stir it for a while longer until it’s creamy.<\/p>\n
