DELICIOUS YOGURT PASTRY WITHOUT EGGS AND BUTTER

Traditional, easy and delicious recipe for the lovers of syrupy desserts and not just them!

INGREDIENTS: (about 18-20 pieces)
• ½ kg icing sugar.
• ½ kg thick semolina.
• ½ kg yoghurt (3 bowls, you can also use the light type, I use the light one)
• 1 sachet vanilla
• 1 wine glass of cognac in which you’ll dissolve 1 tsp soda
• 50gr chopped almonds.
For the syrup:
• 3 cups water
• 2 glasses sugar
• 1 sachet vanilla
Boil it for 5 minutes.

PREPARATION:
Add all the ingredients in a bowl mix them together and pour the mixture in a baking pan (N.28), that you previously buttered.

Pop the yogurt pastry in a preheated oven at 180C to bake for half an hour (at 180C).


Once the pastry is ready, remove it from oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes,

then slowly pour the warm syrup (that you’ll have already prepared) and drizzle it all over the surface of the dessert

NOTE:

If you want you can decorate your dessert with whipped cream as you can see in the photos.

Let it cool completely. The dessert is consumed better if you store  it in the fridge and you serve it with one (or as many as you want) ball of cream (kaimaki) flavored ice-cream.

It’s a very light and pleasant dessert. It’s reminiscent of the samali dessert but without the added calories, and it’s quite economic, easy and quick.

GOOD LUCK!!!
