I’m Sri Lankan-American and I have found memories of my grandmother, making these for New Year’s celebrations. In Sri Lanka, these are made with coconut milk added to the battery, which gives these an sweet taste. They Use the same kind of stamp as well. It’s incredible how food can unite so many parts of the world. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Reading everyone's comments on how each of us have shared food memories and seeing how every culture has influenced others worldwide, it gives hope that someday we can all live in peace. Thank you Refika, for reminding us that we all have more in common and we only need to accept this. Much ❤️ from Sri Lanka!

Thank you soooo much for this lovely traditional, crunchy treat!! I'm in Pennsylvania, PA, and my Virginian/Maryland great-grandmoms and aunts made something really close to this, just with a slightly thicker batter and a smidge of ground vanilla bean. We kids used to pour a touch of thinned out black strap molasses on top. My batter for French toast is just like this--a total, accidental experiment [I decided to use plain yogurt instead of milk that morning]. Yah!!! ❤❤❤ Refika, you're a *marvel* and a real treasure ... thank you *so* much for all your joyous sharing these years! I love your channel and all that I've learned. ❤

Hello everybody, I’m from Honduras Central America, I have been in Turkiye and it is a beautiful country, I love turkish food!! In Honduras we called this buñuelos or rosetas. Thank you Refika for each of your recipe, thank you for sharing them with all of us💕I hope to visit Turkiye soon and be able to go to your store☺️

Hi Laura! ♥️ I hope we can meet you one when you come to our store, our beautiful city Istanbul in Turkey… it’s a very valuable and beautiful that you’ve share the names for this recipe in your country, thank you! ♥️

In México we have a similar, we call it “buñuelos”, we dipper them in mix of sugar and cinnamon when still hot, and then eat them. Crunchy and adictive ❤😊

Swedish Rosettes, Polish Krushtiki (please forgive the spelling), they are all wonderful, and now I have another crispy-crunchy to try. Yeah.

I need more kitchen gadgets! ~me every time I watch Refika

In Malaysia and Singapore,, the Muslims use a rosette mold like the turkish ones. It's Rose 'cake', eaten plain. It was an Eid pastry.

First time hearing of this dessert please continue showing Turkish cuisine to us

In Endonezya, we called this "kembang goyang". Kembang means flower, and goyang means to shake, woobly. The technique is similar, but the ingredients and the presentation are different. Instead of just plain flour, eggs, yogurt, and baking soda, we use the mixture of plain flour, rice flour, corn starch, coconut cream, eggs, sugar, and sesame seeds. No leavening agent at all.

In Spain we have a very similar recipe called "flores fritas" (Fried Flowers) that we make specially during Carnival. 😍

I just found my mold hiding in my pantry and was looking for a recipe 🤡thank you ❤️

these bring memeries from the 70s. When I was a kid I went to a fancy xmas party where they had something that looks the same but only had powdered sugar on them. I showed how much class I had by putting a few in my suit jacket pockets.

Very cool, thanks for this.

These look amazing we have something like this called pizzeria ours is crunchie not as fancy as the ones you are showing. Wish I was there to taste them. Love your videos and all of you. Be safe and many blessings.🐞🦬🐢🥰

❤ love from India. In Tamil Nadu we make snacks like this, it's called as "achchu murukku" (அச்சு முறுக்கு). 🎉🎉🎉 Nice vdo

You make every recipe easy and special ❤

I love how even in America, we have something very similar. It can be done without a mold and called a funnel cake, because the batter is poured through a funnel to make a small spiral

I love the idea of using cookie cutters. Thank you. You are awesome.

Looks delish!

Yum🐨🐨

AHhhh we have these in Mexico! I didn’t know you guys have it too ❤

Refika , a question: What's the point of spooning oil over an item when frying? I dont fry enough to understand why people do it.

Oh, every year we wanted Sugar Waffles from the carnival. We could eat ouselves stupid on these.

They look like Italian ferratelle

Happy Diwali 💜🎉 can we make these without egg ?

I've seen Sri Lankans on KZread make it with just rice flour, water, and coconut oil. They turned out exactly the same.

Sorry to write here but I don’t know how to ask otherwise. I am looking for the products you used to sell on Etsy. The Amazon shop doesn’t have the same variety. And even though it shows an item - like the serrated Bread knife, it links to a 6” chef (Paring?) knife. I’m looking for the molasses and the salt sets, the `enameled dishes and towels

@@Refika but it contains eggs in it. So is there any possibility that we can skip eggs as well?

"Ugh. I have sooo much to dooo today, I best get at it!" Refika: Today ...We DEEP FRY COOKIES. **heads immediately to the kitchen** What? The woman says we deep frying cookies, idk, sounds like an Official Statement of Fact to me. ... 🤷I don't make the rules.

I'm Turkish and I think it needs to be said that this dessert is nowhere near well known in Turkey. Never seen it. Never tasted it.

You aren't the only Turkish person on earth and just because you never seen or tasted it, doesn't mean it's not well known
