Shaker churak is a delicate Azerbaijani cookie that literally melts in your mouth. Its name translates to 'sweet bread', which fully reflects its essence. The recipe for this treat has been passed down through generations and has become an important part of Azerbaijan's culinary traditions. The snow-white cookies, dusted with powdered sugar, resemble little clouds and have a soft, creamy flavor with subtle vanilla notes. They perfectly complement tea ceremonies, filling moments with warmth and coziness. Their simplicity in preparation makes them a popular choice for home treats, while their tender texture and sweet aroma evoke pleasant memories of grandmother's recipes.

The recipe is taken from the book "Abkhazian cuisine" published by "Eksmo".

The main bread in the North Caucasus is flatbread called churek. Our recipe calls for churek made with kefir and corn flour, although sometimes they are made with wheat flour. It is best to fry the flatbreads in butter, and at the end of cooking, the pan is covered with a lid so that the bread rises.
