\nSomewhere between a cookie and a pastry, Qada, one of my favorite treats, is always rewarding, especially with a cup of tea. This one came from Georgian Deli & Bakery, 2270 86th Street in Gravesend near the border of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, where they execute a particularly appealing version of this Georgian delight.<\/p>\nQada (pronounce the Q like a K but in the back of your throat \u2013 uvular as opposed to velar for you linguistics aficionados) can be found in two forms, savory or sweet like this one with raisins. The dough is cut, rolled, and glazed with a shiny egg wash then baked to GBD* perfection. Dense, soft, a little crumbly, sweet but not cloying, buttery but not unctuous, it was the perfect culmination of that day\u2019s quest for something to satisfy my sweet tooth.<\/p>\n
Second photo: what it looked like during the few seconds after I bought it and before I cut into it.<\/p>\n
