Kalburabastı (sometimes spelled kalbura bastı[1]) or kalburabasma (Turkish, also known as hurmašice in Bosnia and Herzegovina,and throughout the rest of former Yugoslavia as urmašice), and sometimes also known under the name of hurma, are syrup-drenched pastries that have a riddled appearance. They are featured among the favorite specialities that are prepared during the Islamic holidays, including the three-day Eid al-Fitr (called Şeker Bayramı or "Candy Feast" in Turkish language) and Eid al-Adha.

This Ottoman Turkish treat has a very similar variation of it ("hurmašice") which can be found in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and other parts of former Yugoslavia.
