kasroos

Kasroos is a type of Persian sweet pastry. It is traditionally made with dough that is fried until golden brown and then soaked in a sweet syrup. The dough is typically enriched with ingredients like eggs, yogurt, and sometimes a touch of cardamom for flavor. The syrup is often made from sugar and water, and can be infused with rosewater or saffron to impart a distinct aroma and taste.

The shape of kasroos can vary, but they are often made into small, twisted, or knotted forms, making them visually appealing. They are a popular treat during special occasions and holidays in Iran, and are also enjoyed as a sweet accompaniment to tea. The texture of kasroos is typically crispy on the outside with a slightly chewy interior. The sweetness from the syrup is a prominent characteristic of this pastry. Variations in recipes exist across different regions and families in Iran, leading to subtle differences in taste and texture.
