Ring syrup dessert is a Turkish fried-dough sweet shaped into rings and soaked in sugar syrup. It is sold by bakeries and street vendors, and is typically crisp outside with a softer centre.
Ring syrup dessert is made by piping dough into rings, frying them until golden, and briefly dipping them in syrup. Recipes vary, but the contrast between hot fried dough and cooled syrup is common.
No, ring syrup dessert is not the same as churros. Both are fried dough, but ring syrup dessert is shaped into rings and soaked in syrup, while churros are usually served with a dipping sauce or a sugar coating.
For crisp ring syrup dessert, pipe evenly sized rings and fry them thoroughly without letting the oil become excessively hot. Dip the fried rings in syrup briefly; soaking them too long can soften the crust.
Ring syrup dessert uses a simple sugar syrup, usually made by simmering sugar and water and sometimes adding lemon. The syrup is cooled before the freshly fried rings are dipped in it.
Ring syrup dessert softens when it absorbs syrup over time, especially if it is left soaking or stored in a sealed container while warm. For the best texture, serve it soon after dipping.
Store leftover ring syrup dessert in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it soon. It will lose its crisp texture as it sits, so keeping it at room temperature for a long time is not ideal.
Yes, you can warm ring syrup dessert briefly in an oven, but it may not become as crisp as freshly fried dessert. A microwave is convenient, though it tends to make the dough softer.
You can freeze ring syrup dessert, but the syrup-soaked dough is likely to become softer after thawing. If you do freeze it, thaw it in the refrigerator and warm it briefly in an oven before serving.
Serve ring syrup dessert soon after it has been dipped in syrup, when its outside is still crisp. It pairs well with unsweetened Turkish tea or coffee, which balances the sweetness without adding more sugar.

Ring syrup dessert is the name used here for Turkey’s halka tatlısı: a ring of piped dough, fried until golden, then dipped in sugar syrup. Its outside is crisp while the syrup-soaked centre is tender and sweet.
In Turkey, it is sold at sweet shops and street stalls, and is often enjoyed on its own with tea or coffee. It is an energy-dense treat, with most of its carbohydrates coming from the dough and syrup, so a smaller piece can be satisfying. Pair it with unsweetened tea, or share one if you’d like a lighter portion.
