SHEKERBURA
SHEKERBURA is one of the most popular Azerbaijani sweet pastries
Shekerbura
Ingredients: 1.5 lbs. flour, 2 eggs, nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts), 0.5 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. yeast, 400 gr. oil (butter), a pinch of curry, 1.5 cups milk, cinnamon and cherry jam (to taste)
THE DOUGH The dough for shekebura can be prepared in several ways: with yeast that makes the dough rise, without yeast, with whole eggs or with egg yolks only, with milk or with water added and so on. In Azerbaijan, every family has its own special recipe. The recipe below is my favorite, courtesy of my cousin in Baku whose shekerbura is simply the best in the family. It yields the softest shekerbura that almost melts in your mouth. Plus, the recipe doesn’t require waiting for the dough to rise (a small amount of yeast is added for softness), or refrigerating it overnight. THE PATTERN What makes shekerbura really special is the pattern that is made on them with a special type of decoration tweezers, called maggash. Mine came all the way from Baku. The most traditional decoration called jinaghi - a V-shaped pine tree or herringone pattern . However, simple patterns, such as trees, flowers, and even names and initials can be made with these tweezers too. If you don’t have a maggash, leave the top of your pastries plain - once they are baked, coat them with powdered sugar. This is how a maggash looks
Shekerbura

Shekerbura
Shekerbura filling is made by mixing ground nuts (hazelnuts, or almonds, or walnuts) with granulated sugar and powdered cardamom. Hazelnuts and almonds are preferred over walnuts for their light color and subtle taste. I personally prefer walnuts for their rich taste. Nuts must be skinned before they are mixed with sugar and cardamom. In the US, you can buy skinned nuts sold in packages. In Azerbaijan, women skin raw nuts themselves using the techniques described in the recipe below.

Also you need for the filling.. 1kg mizithra cheese (a soft sweet white cheese) ½ cup sugar 3 eggs 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Start by making the dough. Place all the liquid ingredients in a bowl.
Then, sift the flour with the baking powder in another bowl and add them slowly to the liqiud mixture. Work the dough gently with your hands. The dough should be light and oily. So, do not knead it too much because it will become firm. When you finish, cover it and let it ‘rest’ for about an hour.
Prepare the filling now. Mix the mizithra cheese with 2 eggs, the sugar and the cinnamon. Knead the mixture until it gets fluffy.
Then, cut small pieces of dough the size of a walnut. Roll each out on wax paper with a rolling pin. Use a saucer to cut the dough into round pieces of about 10 cm in diameter.
Put a teaspoon of the filling mixture in the centre of each round phyllo piece and pinch the rim all around to form a star around the filling without covering it. When you finish making them, beat an egg with 2 tablespoons of water and brush the lihnarakia.
