Bosnian Hurmašice

In my beautiful country of Bosnia, it is very difficult to keep a diet. My people are really enjoying the food, so often prepare desserts that go a lot of sugar, which are very tasty.


I love hurmašice made in this way ... melt in your mouth, leaving an unforgettable taste of simple, old-fashioned cakes. This is the stake that you can do in half an hour and always have the ingredients at home. Hurmašice is very sweet Bosnian pastries topped with a sweet sugar syrup. This is how my mother prepares it and has not experienced failure. Reason enough to share this recipe with you. Juicy, soft, melt in your mouth!

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 2 egg
• 2 small cups of vegetable oil
• 2 small cups of sugar
• 400-500 g of all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon of baking soda
• 200 grams of nuts
• 2 tablespoons of sweet apple jam

Syrup:

• 11 cups of water
• 7 cups of sugar
• 1 lemon

Preparation:

To Make Syrup:

First, prepare the syrup to cool down slightly before pouring over cake. Mix sugar with water. Bring to boil and let cook for 15 minutes. Cool to lukewarm and add the juice of one lemon.

Prepare the dough:

Whisk the eggs with the sugar. Add the oil and apple jam. Stir together flour, baking soda, and nuts. Add flour with baking powder 1/2 cup at a time. Add flour until you get a soft dough that does not stick to your hands. Divide dough into 20 pieces, form into balls and press them to make an oval shape. Then press them on the grater to depict the small dots on the dough and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until they are golden.
Remove humaršice from the oven and pour over hurmašice and leave it to soak syrup completely.


Serving them the cooled with a cup of herbal tea!
