Pismaniye (Turkish Cotton Candy) Ingredients :

  • 3 zucchinis peeled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • ¾ cup fresh dill chopped
  • ½ cup parsley chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoon olive oil divided

How to Make Pismaniye (Turkish Cotton Candy)

1

Preheat your oven to 340°F (170 °C).

2

Add some baking paper on your baking tray.

3

Take a mixing bowl and mix the butter and sugar in it and then add the flour.
Use a spatula to remove the scraps from the plate and mix it again.

4

Pour in some oil simultaneously while beating the mix.

5

Add coconut flakes and vanilla powder and keep mixing until everything is absorbed.

6

Keep the mix in the fridge for 2-3 hours.

7

Tear off tiny balls (aim for around 1 oz/30g per ball), shape them and pull them.

8

Put the strings in the oven and bake at 170 °C for not more than 15 minutes. In any case,
don’t bake the sweet longer than this because they might start cracking.

9

Add some coconut flakes, powdered sugar, serve, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes:

Keep an eye on the sweets every few minutes while baking because they tend to get cracks and burn rather quickly.
