Turkish Delight
1 kg. granulated sugar
1 liter of water, 4.5 cups
4 gr. cream of tartar
1 g lemon salt
200 gr. wheat starch, 2 cups
200 g pistachios
Powdered sugar
• Pour granulated sugar and water into a medium-sized pot, stir and boil.
• After it starts to boil, add cream of tartar and mix.
• Sift the wheat starch and crush it with 1 cup of water until it becomes smooth.
• Remove the mixture from the heat and add the starch water mixture, stirring until it is well combined.
• Put the pot back on low heat.
• Condense for at least 15 minutes, always stirring in the same direction and at the same speed.
• There are three tests to understand that the Turkish delight has reached its perfect consistency.
Test 1: If the part of the Turkish delight extending from the spoon remains thin, long and pointed when you lift the spoon, it is not done. If it is thicker and falls into balls, it is cooked.
Test 2: Pour some granulated sugar on 1 spoon of the mixture, if it still absorbs the sugar and becomes transparent, it is not done yet. If the sugar stays as it is, it's done.
Test 3: Drop a piece of the mixture into ice water, if it looks soft and tends to melt, it means it hasn't happened yet. If it has a structure that maintains its shape and does not melt, it is done.
• When the Turkish delight is ready, prepare the tray in which you will pour it before you start cooking.
• Lay baking paper on a tray, sprinkle starch on it, pour the Turkish delight and spread it roughly.
• Then sprinkle some more starch and cover the baking paper on the Turkish delight.
• Use a rolling pin or wet your hands and roll it out to a thickness of one and a half centimeters and smooth the top.
• After waiting for it to cool down thoroughly, chop it as you wish.
• Sprinkle powdered sugar and starch on top by mixing equal amounts. It can be eaten this way for about four to five months without any problems.

Many years ago, when I was passing through the airport in Turkey, I saw some turkish delight, but at the time I didn't know what it was so I never purchased it. Years later I ordered some online for my daughter and I. We just love it! Now I can make it at home for my Grandchildren. Thank you for this wonderful recipe! 😊

Greetings from Missouri, USA! I love lokum, I kust had it today with Turkish coffee. Rose flavor is my favorite!

I am here, because I saw this sweet in Narnia. I was thinking to travel to Turkey to eat it someday, but I think I will give it a try.

I love squeezing my Turkish delight into a patty and then but it in between two buttercoockies and eat it with Turkish tea Brings back my childhood memories 😊

I'm not turkish! But Turkish delight has always been my favorite. I remember it being a bit firmer. Love rose, pistachio and chocolate covered . Hoping that ,when I get to Turkiye soon, to try the multitude of deliciousness . In the meantime I'm going to try your recipe. Love your videos 🇨🇦❤❤❤

You are so incredibly creative as a chef, in Istanbul I fell in love with a chocolate covered lokum but they were all so good and really satisfying your sweet tooth

I just made some with real rosewater I made yesterday from wild roses on the mountain, to die for! House smelled like roses all day, wonderful :) So my first try at lokum was OK I think, still waiting for it to set, but with Canadian corn starch probably 50% more water must be added as it turned into cold putty. Bir iyi gün ve Çok güzel Refıka! Teşekkür ederim!

Thank goodness - lokum simplified!!

As a child i never liked Turkish delight. Here in the UK we had some nasty chocolate covered sweet. In the early 70's my dad took me to an Iranian ship. The captain gave my brothers and I "proper" Turkish delight and I've loved it ever since

Oh My❤ Awesome🎉 Now we need Turkish coffee with it👏🏻🥰
-

Thanks, Rafika. I must try this recipe. It's easier to go down to the Turkish shop in my street in Warsaw, but you make it look so easy.
