Güllaç

Güllaç (pronounced [ɟylˈlatʃ]) is a Turkish dessert made with milk, rose water, pomegranate and a special kind of pastry.

Its first known mention is in a 14th-century book, Yinshan Zhenyao (飮膳正要), a food and health manual written by Hu Sihui (忽思慧), a physician to the Mongol court of the Yuan dynasty.

The book documents primarily Mongol and Turkic dishes that exhibit a limited amount of Chinese influence.

Turkish "güllaç" is thought to be loaned from the Persian word گلانج (gulanc).

The earliest record of the word in a Turkic language dates back to 1477.
