Steps:
- If you are using ready "ekmek kadayıfı," you have to wet it down first with boiling water to soften it. Begin by placing the "kadayıf" browned-side-down in a shallow, round tray of the same size. Pour enough boiling water over the bread to cover it, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- When time is up, remove the wet bread, and place it on a clean towel or a thick layer of folded paper towels.
- Wring out the extra water by pressing down on the bread evenly. Let it rest on the towel for a few minutes. Discard the water in the tray and put the moistened bread back inside.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a large cross shape at the center of the moistened bread. This will help the syrup penetrate. Place the metal tray on the stove over low heat. Slowly drizzle the syrup over the top. Turn the tray around over the burner to help the bread absorb the syrup evenly.
- Put the sugar in a large pan, and let it melt slowly over medium heat. Let it caramelize until it turns a dark honey color. Add the water, and bring it to a boil.
- Once it boils, add the lemon juice. Let the syrup simmer gently for about 10 minutes then turn off the heat. The syrup should be thick and the color of light honey.
- All the bread should become saturated with the syrup which will cause it to darken. When all the syrup is completely absorbed, remove the tray from the heat, and let it cool down.
- To serve, cut the "ekmek kadayıfı" in squares or triangles. The traditional way to garnish it is to put a thick layer of clotted cream between two layers of bread, but you can also put it on top instead. Sprinkle the top of the dessert with crushed nuts.

- Once your pastry is defrosted to room temperature (see above for detail), preheat the oven to 160c. Separate the pastry strands being careful not to break them. Melt the vegan margarine. Brush some onto a deep baking tray or casserole dish, covering the base and sides. Lay the pastry in the tray making sure all the corners are filled. Tuck in any loose strands. Spoon the rest of the melted margarine across the pastry. Then bake for 1 hour until crisp and golden.
- While the pastry bakes, put all the syrup ingredients in a pan. Bring to the boil stirring slowly until the sugar dissolves. Leave on medium heat to simmer for 3 mins. Let cool. The syrup must be cold when the pastry comes out of the oven. (Put in the fridge if needed.) Once the pastry is baked, remove from the oven and immediately pour the syrup all over. The syrup needs to be cold and the pastry hot. Remove cinnamon and cloves. Leave for 30 mins.
- In a saucepan, mix a little plant milk with the cornstarch. Mix it well so that there are no lumps left. I spent about 5 mins at this stage. Sieve in the icing sugar and combine. Gradually pour in the rest of the milk. Cook on low heat and keep whisking. Be careful the cornstarch doesn't stick on the base of the pan. Just before it begins to boil, the custard should thicken quickly. Stir for a minute longer to make sure it is a thick consistency throughout. Turn off the heat before it boils.
- If the custard is too thick to pour, you can place it straight onto the pastry. If it is a little too thin to sit without dripping down, then wait for it to cool slightly first. Spread the custard across the pastry, still in the deep tray. Smooth a sheet of cling film across the top of the custard (to prevent it from forming a skin) and tuck around the tray. Leave in the fridge for 2-3 hours. The custard must be room temperature when you add the cream - otherwise, it will melt.
