Pişmaniye is a sweet treat that is popular in Turkey. It is made by pulling and stretching a blend of sugar, flour, and usually some sort of flavoring (often vanilla or lemon).
You ever make one of those bracelets out of rubber bands by pulling and stretching them? It's kind of like that, but with ingredients that are way tastier.
Once the mixture is stretched out super thin, it is then rolled up into small, fluffy strands that resemble cotton candy, but are a little bit denser.
It's the kind of thing that melts in your mouth and makes you feel like you're floating on a cloud of sugar.
Pişmaniye is a sweet and unique treat that you can find in markets and sweet shops all over Turkey.
