Hurmašica

Hurmašica is a Bosnian treat prepared by dousing the pastry dough consisting of butter, eggs, sugar, and flour in lemon-flavored sugar syrup. Just like many other Bosnian dishes, this dessert also came from Türkiye, where its relative is the almost identical kalburabastı. The distinctive top design of the cookie is achieved by pressing the pastry dough on a grater, while the ingredients can be modified to include desiccated coconut or walnuts. This sweet treat is baked throughout the year, although it is traditionally prepared for important religious holidays.
