About this dish
Shekerbura or shekarbura is an Azerbaijani sweet pastry, usually eaten as a dessert. It is made in a half-moon shape, filled with ground almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts, and sugar. Shekerbura, shorgoghal, and pakhlava are the traditional foods of Novruz in Azerbaijan. The making of shekerbura usually involves relatives, friends and neighbors who congregate at someone's home to make it. Like other pastries prepared for Novruz, shekerbura has a symbolic meaning which denotes the half-moon or flame of fire.
