A packet of vanilla sugar

Half a spoon of salt

Papanași (Donuts)

Recipe instructions:

1.The dough: put the cottage cheese in a bowl. Add salt, vanilla sugar and cinnamon. If you also want lemon zest, add it now. 2. Mix everything with a fork and add the two eggs. Now mix the eggs with the cheese and add the flour.Incorporate with a spoon then start kneading.3.Sprinkle flour on the work surface to prevent sticking. Place the dough on the work surface.4.Divide the dough into about 5 large pieces and 5 smaller pieces.5.The small pieces are shaped into a ball, that specific word for papanasi. Papanas are formed from the large pieces. They are rounded, flattened and with the help of your fingers, a hole is formed in the middle that widens slightly, allowing the papanas to be well inside during frying.6.For frying, a cast iron pot or a pan with a thicker bottom is ideal. Pour the oil into the chosen vessel. The oil must be at least 5-6 cm deep in the bowl. It is heated on the right fire until a small piece of dough plunged into the dish immediately forms air bubbles around it and floats above the oil, then the fire is reduced. Fry the papanas one by one until they are nicely browned.7.Remove the papanas on absorbent paper, removing the excess oil. Put the papanas in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 7-8 minutes.

Serve with the chosen topping, such as jam.

          Plăcintă cu mere (Apple Pie)

INGREDIENTS 
For countertops 
500 g of flour; 
200 g soft butter/lard; 
100 g cream; 
1 egg; 
150 g of sugar; 
2 ampoules of vanilla sugar; 
10 g of baking powder; 
1 pinch of salt 

                                            For the filling:
                                          1.5 kg of apples; 
                                          3 spoons of sugar; 
                                       1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

Plăcintă cu mere (Apple Pie)

To make the apple pie filling, wash the apples, grate them. Temper them in a non-stick pan with 3-5 tablespoons of sugar. Add the cinnamon after 5 minutes. Stir occasionally and, when the juice evaporates, remove from heat and leave to cool.  

Let's move on to the dough.  In a large bowl, rub the butter with the sugar. Add the vanilla essence and the egg and beat gently until you get a creamy result. Add the cream, mix until smooth. 
Separately, to prepare the apple pie dough, combine the flour with salt and baking powder then add to the cream mixture above, mixing well with a wooden spoon. When the resulting dough hardens and cannot be mixed with a spoon, knead by hand.  When the apple pie dough is no longer sticky, divide it into 2 equal balls. Sprinkle flour on the table and spread one of the 2 balls with a rolling pin (enough to cover the pan in which you want to make the pie). Place the first sheet in the pan and place the filling on top.  Roll out the second ball of dough (exactly as you did with the first) and then cover the filling in the pan with it. 
Put the pan in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes 

or until you notice that the dough is baked. 
Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly. 

Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the pie and serve it.

Un Helvası - Cansu and Işılay

Ingredients.:

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup milk
(170 grams) butter, or margarine
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts, for garnish

Tools

bowl 

tablespoon 

saucepan 

Recipe:

first, Combine the sugar, milk, and water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Stir it occasionally until the sugar is dissolved then turn off the heat. If you decide to add optional flavoring like vanilla, rose water or lemon zest, stir it into the hot milk mixture.

second, Melt the butter in a large, shallow pan. When the butter is bubbly, add the flour all at once. Work the butter all the way through the flour using a wooden spoon.

next, Reduce the heat to low. Stir the flour and butter mixture by turning it over with the wooden spoon. Do this continuously over very low heat for at least 15 minutes. The flour should slowly turn golden brown and take on a toasted aroma. Make sure to turn the mixture over evenly and be care not to let it brown too quickly.

then , When the flour is ready, turn off the heat. Add the milk and sugar mixture all at once and let it bubble up. Stir the liquid through the flour as it's bubbling. Continue to stir the mixture as it cools down. The helva will begin to bind together and form a ball. It should be soft but firm and take on a shiny texture.

after that , While the ball of helva is still hot, you can shape it as you wish. You can use a large spoon to make oval-shaped individual helva, or you can press the helva down in a shallow serving dish. When it's cool, you can cut it into squares.

finally, Toast the pine nuts by turning them over in a small, nonstick pan over high heat. Press a pine nut on the top of each spoon helva, or press them evenly in a pattern over the top of flat helva.
