In Romanian: Prajitura turceasca (Tis-pis-tiri)
==Ingredients==
* 1 egg
* 1½ cups oil
* 1 cup water
* 1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar
* grated peel from 1 lemon
* salt
* flour as needed
* shortening and flour to grease and dust the pan

* 1 lb / 500 g sugar
* 1¼ cups water 
* vanilla
* juice from 1 lemon 
==Directions==
# Beat the sugar with the egg, mix with oil, salt, lemon peel, sugar and water. 
# Add flour and knead a soft dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes and then roll into a finger thick sheet. 
# Cut into squares (not too big) and arrange on the greased and dusted baking sheet, at a distance one from the other. 
# While they bake, prepare the syrup. 
# Set to boil the sugar with 1¼ cup water and vanilla; after a few minutes, add lemon juice and remove from heat. 
# When the squares are nicely golden-brown, scald with this syrup and bake a little longer so that the syrup gets well into the dough.
