This is an introduction to a traditional dessert related to the hunt for money, rose milk skin (güllaç). - Yes. Compared to other snacks, note that there are many fatty and sweet Turkish snacks, and rose milk skin is relatively fresh, so it was considered a regular snack of the prayer moon. Muslims will keep the health during the prayer moon, and the dietary life will change, and will not eat for a long time. In addition to supplementing the sugar and having some nutrition, this dessert will not be too heavy for the body.

History of rose milk skin

In Ottoman records, milk skin appeared during the reign of Sultan II Murad in the 14th century. Legend has it that there was a snack influenced by Chinese food culture, but there is no certainty as to how it was made. In the 15th century, people widely spread it. Over time, milk skin changed from milk skin to rose milk skin added to rose water. Rose milk skin was called "güllüa"ş. It was only later that "food with roses" was renamed "güllaç". This snack is very popular in Sudan and will be used to entertain guests at some celebrations.

Practice of rose milk skin

The ingredients are simple: skin made of corn flour, rose water, milk, sugar, so the most important dessert is the skin, as the leaves (yaprak) one by one called "gülla çyapra" ğ The skin will be dry and hard, which is convenient for modern buyers.

Simple description of the method of making, first pour the milk and sugar into the pan to heat, turn off the heat, then add the rose water (please add edible), then prepare two large dishes, hot sweet milk that was lightly spooned into a little each. One of them is used to lightly soak and soften the dry skin. The soft skin moves to the other plate to be stacked layer by layer. After stacking two or three layers, put the broken nuts, then continue to pave several layers of skin. After paving, pour all the milk into the plate For dipping. The top layer should be covered with a film of preservation and cool in the refrigerator. It is recommended to put it for at least 4 hours, but the ideal is to put it well at night. The refrigerated skin will absorb the milk. It is best to pour another glass of milk on the table before serving. Then sprinkle the cubes on the table with nuts and pomegranates.
