Ingredients
  

For the dough:

  • 2 glasses of water
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar
  • Half a teaspoon of salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons of semolina
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

For the Syrup:

  • 3 cups of sugar
  • 3 glasses of water
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • First, you need to prepare the syrup. For the syrup, take the sugar and water in a suitable saucepan. When it starts to boil, boil it on low heat for 30-35 minutes until it has a thick consistency, add the lemon juice, and let it warm.
  • Allow the syrup to cool completely or put it in the fridge. The syrup needs to be very cold; you can prepare the dough after the syrup is completely cooled.
  • For the dough; add water, butter, sugar, salt to the pot, and bring to a boil.
  • Sift the flour and add it to the boiled water mixture at once, stir immediately with a wooden spoon and with all your strength, and turn down the setting on the stove. Mix without stopping for 4-5 minutes and cook the dough in this way. Make sure that there is no lump in the dough.
  • Set aside for the dough to cool. After the dough has rested for a while, break the eggs into the dough one by one, and mix well with the mixer, feed each egg into the dough for 2 minutes.
  • After eating the eggs, add the lemon juice and semolina, and mix it with a mixer for 5 minutes at a high setting. It turns into a shiny and sticky paste.
  • Place the oil in a large saucepan and heat on a high setting. If you want, you can open the bottom of the oil after squeezing the pumps into the cold oil. If you preheat the oil, there is no need to cool the oil again.
  • Attach a star tip to a large cloth squeeze bag and add the dough halfway to the bag.
  • Squeeze the dough into the desired size oil and cut it with scissors.
  • Turn down the stove to warm the high-grade oil. Thus, when the outside of your dessert is browned, the inside will also be cooked.
  • Stir occasionally with the help of a sieve and cook until it gets a caramel color.
  • Take the cooked pumps from the oil and immediately put them in cold syrup and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Do this until your dough is finished.

Notes

Most importantly, the syrup should be thick and very cold, take care not to let the syrup get cold, if necessary, place it in an ice-filled container and prevent it from getting cold. Unfortunately, the syrup gets warmer as you add the tulumba desserts. Do not try to fry the Tulumba in a short time, cook it slowly, the slower it is cooked the better.
