Dökme Recipe

Dökme is a traditional and easy-to-make delicacy, especially enjoyed at breakfast with its soft texture and simple preparation.

Servings: 6–8 people

🛒 Ingredients

2 cups yogurt
2 eggs
1½ teaspoons baking soda
Juice of half a lemon
Flour (as much as needed to reach the right consistency)

For frying:
Vegetable oil

🔥 Instructions

Prepare the Batter:

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients except the flour until well combined.

Gradually add flour while stirring. The batter should be thick enough to slowly drop from a spoon, but not runny.

Frying:

Heat vegetable oil in a pan. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil.

Fry on both sides until golden brown. Transfer the fried dökme onto paper towels to remove excess oil.

✅ Tips

The batter should not be too runny; a thicker consistency ensures the inside cooks properly.

In the region, it is commonly served drizzled with honey.
