Instruction manual
1
Dessert must be prepared in a thick-walled pan (ideally in a cauldron) so that the mixture does not burn. Pour in it starch, sugar and a pinch of vanillin.
2
Add cinnamon (it will give a color cast) and 2 sachets (100 g) of instant gelatin. Mix all dry ingredients well with a spatula.
3
Pour water into the dry mixture and mix again. Put the pot on medium heat (make sure that the mixture does not boil) and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the mixture becomes thick.
4
When the mixture becomes pasty, remove it from the burner, add citric acid and stir well.
5
Put the mass in a form lined with cling film, carefully tamp and leave in the cold overnight.
6
In the morning, remove the Turkish delight from the mold and cut into cubes. Roll each cube in icing sugar and sesame as desired (you can also use coconut flakes).
7
Store Turkish delight in a dry place in a closed box, sprinkled with starch so that the cubes do not stick together. Before serving, just shake off the starch and roll each cube in powdered sugar!
