Akıtma
Akıtma is a traditional Turkish pancake and one of the most popular breakfast dishes in Turkey. Thanks to the yeasted dough, it is light and soft, yet filling. It is often eaten with honey or jam, but also served in a savory version with feta cheese and fresh vegetables. There is nothing better on a pleasant morning than the smell of freshly baked Akıtma filling the kitchen. The secret to perfect Akıtma is the rested dough and even baking, which ensures a soft, airy texture.

Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
2
Crack in the eggs, then pour in the milk and water. Mix until you have a smooth batter that is slightly thicker than crepe batter.
3
Let the batter rest for 30 minutes to allow the yeast to activate and the batter to become lighter.
4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
5
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the skillet and spread it evenly in a circular motion.
6
Cook the Akıtma for about 1 minute, until the edges are lightly golden brown. Flip with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds.
7
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding a little more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
8
Serve the Akıtma with honey, jam, or feta cheese and fresh vegetables, according to your taste.
