Chekchek


This dessert must have been invented by a Tatar dentist long ago. The Honey ensures maximum sticking of the sugar and dough between your teeth. I've found the best way to erode the Chekchek is with very hot tea. If I were a dentist, I would send slices home with my clients.
I remember it taking hours to prepare, involving a crew of ladies and the entire dining room table covered with trays full of the little dough fingers, before it all comes together. As it is so labour intensive, it is a special-occasion treat. Chekchek is the perfect exclamation point at the end of a Peremech meal! then time to sing a song!
