Turkish Tulumba
  1. In a pot, add the sugar and water. Break open your cardamom pods slightly, so that the seeds are exposed, then add this into the pot along with the saffron.

  2. Place this pot onto medium heat and let this mixture come to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, leave it to boil for 5 minutes. You just want this to thicken slightly.

  3. After 5 minutes, take this off the heat and leave aside to cool down.

  4. In a pot, add the water, butter, sugar and salt. Place this onto medium heat and let this come to a boil.

  5. Once this comes to a boil, take this off the heat then add the flour. Mix until a dough forms and you can no longer see any flour.

  6. Place this back onto medium heat and cook this for 2 minutes, whiles constantly mixing it.

  7. Add this dough into a bowl and leave it to cool down for 10 minutes.

  8. After 10 minutes, add in one of the eggs, mix this in, then mix in the remaining egg.

  9. Add this dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

  10. You want to fry these in oil that is around 170c-180c.

  11. Once your oil is ready, squeeze some of the dough into this and use scissors to cut pieces. Try not to add too many into the oil at once, you don't want to overcrowd your pot.

  12. Fry these until they're a deep golden brown colour. Then take them out and let them drain on some paper towels for about a minute.

  13. Add these into your cooled syrup and let them soak up the syrup for about 3-5 minutes. Then take them out.

  14. Keep repeating this until you have fried and soaked all of your dough, and then you can enjoy!
