kandil simit

Good day everyone! Today is the observance of Regaip Kandili here in Turkey. I have been receiving lots of food from my neighbors, and in return i just made this kandil simit as a gift  to my neighbors too.

Ingredients:
 1 pack( 250g)  margarine (softened)
 1 teacup ( 84g) yoghurt
 1 teacup (100 ml) vegetable oil
 1 egg (separated.. eggwhite for dipping)
 1 pack baking powder
 2 tsps. granulated sugar
 1 tbsp. refined salt
 2-3 cups flour ( add more when the dough is still sticky)
sesame seeds

Directions:
Preheat oven to 180C. Grease or line your baking pans with wax paper.
In a mixing bowl, mix margarine, oil, yoghurt, eggyolk, sugar and salt together till thoroughly mix. Add flour and baking powder, mix till you can have a nice soft and pliable dough. Roll out into small balls and form them into rings.
In another bowl, prepare the eggwhite for dipping, and another bowl for the sesame seeds.  Deep the simit into your eggwhite then to the sesame seeds. Put your simit into the greased baking pans and bake for 20 mins. or until golden brown. Enjoy while its hot!
