Unlike most syrup desserts it is dipped in egg and fried in hot oil before the syrup goes on.
Palm-sized rolls of wire kadayıf are stuffed with crushed walnuts, dipped in egg, fried and soaked in syrup, then sold by the piece or tray from Erzurum's dessert counters.
Why it's made this way: The Erzurum Commodity Exchange registered it as a geographical indication of origin in 2012, and it counts among the city's best-known sweets.
