Tarartir-At-Turkman is a classic dessert that originated in Eastern Turkey and has become popular across the country and beyond. The dessert's name translates to 'Bonnets of the Turks' and refers to the small dough balls that resemble hats. Traditionally made during celebrations and special occasions, the dessert is loved for its simplicity and delicious taste. The mixture of egg yolks, yoghurt, and brandy give the dough a unique flavor, while the deep-frying process results in a crispy and crunchy texture that melts in your mouth.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the salt, caster sugar, brandy, and yoghurt until creamy.
2.	Gradually sift and whisk in the self-raising flour until a thick dough is formed.
3.	Knead the dough for a few minutes on a floured surface until smooth and soft.
4.	Divide the dough into small portions and roll into balls.
5.	Heat the oil in a deep pot to 350°F and fry the balls until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.
6.	Dust the balls with icing sugar.
7.	Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy and sweet treats!
