Turkish Delight

1 kg. granulated sugar
1 liter of water, 4.5 cups
4 gr. cream of tartar
1 g lemon salt
200 gr. wheat starch, 2 cups
200 g pistachios
Powdered sugar

•⁠ Pour granulated sugar and water into a medium-sized pot, stir and boil.
•⁠ ⁠After it starts to boil, add cream of tartar and mix.
•⁠ Sift the wheat starch and crush it with 1 cup of water until it becomes smooth.
•⁠ ⁠Remove the mixture from the heat and add the starch water mixture, stirring until it is well combined.
•⁠ ⁠Put the pot back on low heat.
•⁠ ⁠Condense for at least 15 minutes, always stirring in the same direction and at the same speed. 
•⁠ There are three tests to understand that the Turkish delight has reached its perfect consistency.

Test 1: If the part of the Turkish delight extending from the spoon remains thin, long and pointed when you lift the spoon, it is not done. If it is thicker and falls into balls, it is cooked. 
Test 2: Pour some granulated sugar on 1 spoon of the mixture, if it still absorbs the sugar and becomes transparent, it is not done yet. If the sugar stays as it is, it's done.
Test 3: Drop a piece of the mixture into ice water, if it looks soft and tends to melt, it means it hasn't happened yet. If it has a structure that maintains its shape and does not melt, it is done.

•⁠ ⁠When the Turkish delight is ready, prepare the tray in which you will pour it before you start cooking.
•⁠ ⁠Lay baking paper on a tray, sprinkle starch on it, pour the Turkish delight and spread it roughly.
•⁠ ⁠Then sprinkle some more starch and cover the baking paper on the Turkish delight.
•⁠ ⁠Use a rolling pin or wet your hands and roll it out to a thickness of one and a half centimeters and smooth the top.
•⁠ ⁠After waiting for it to cool down thoroughly, chop it as you wish.
•⁠ Sprinkle powdered sugar and starch on top by mixing equal amounts. It can be eaten this way for about four to five months without any problems.
