Keçi Patisi (Goat's Foot) Recipe

Keçi Patisi (Goat's Foot) is a traditional Turkish fried dough made from a simple mixture of flour, salt, and yogurt. The dough is shaped into small ovals, sometimes with a “keçi patisi” indentation, and fried in hot oil until golden and crispy.

Soft on the inside and lightly crisp on the outside, this versatile fried dough can be served plain, dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with syrup, or accompanied by cheese and olives. Optionally, egg or milk can be added to the dough for a richer texture.

Chef’s Tip:
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying so the dough cooks quickly and doesn’t absorb excess oil. Let the dough rest a little before shaping to make it easier to handle.
