300 grams fresh shredded kadayıf
1 cup chopped walnuts

3 eggs
½ cup milk
½ packet vanilla extract
For Frying:
Vegetable oil
For Syrup:

Instructions for Making Kadayıf Dolması:
– First, prepare the syrup by boiling sugar and water for approximately 20 minutes.
– Just before removing it from the heat, add 3-4 drops of lemon juice.
– The syrup should be quite cold, so my recommendation is to prepare it well in advance and refrigerate it.
– Fluff the kadayıf with your hands a bit.
– Take palm-sized portions and spread them out on a clean surface.
– Place chopped walnuts on one edge and roll it up tightly, making sure to seal the edges.
– Repeat the process for the remaining kadayıf.
– In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
– Dip the prepared kadayıf rolls into the egg mixture, coating them evenly.
– You can press down with your hands to remove excess egg.
– Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot until hot.
– Fry the kadayıf rolls until golden brown on all sides.
– Once done, immediately place them in the cold syrup for 3-4 minutes.
– Transfer to a serving plate and serve warm. Enjoy your meal!
