Ingredients:
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Stir in the sugar until dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Take a baking dish and cover the bottom with a layer of the güllaç pastry sheets. You can break the sheets into smaller pieces to fit the dish. Spoon some of the cooled milk over the pastry sheets, making sure to cover them completely.
Add another layer of pastry sheets on top of the milk-soaked sheets, followed by more milk. Continue layering the pastry sheets and milk until you have used up all of the pastry sheets.
Cover the top layer of the pastry sheets with any remaining milk. Sprinkle the crushed walnuts over the top of the dessert.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the walnuts are lightly golden.
Let the güllaç cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours, or until the dessert has set.
When ready to serve, garnish with pomegranate seeds and rose petals.
Güllaç is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for sharing with family and friends during Ramadan, or any time of the year. We hope you enjoy making this recipe and savoring every bite of this Turkish delicacy.
