Dessert
Kaymak is a thick cream that collects on the surface of full-fat milk when it is slowly heated and left to rest. It is eaten with honey at breakfast and alongside desserts. The kind made from buffalo milk is the richest and most prized.
Where It's Used
“Drizzle honey over the kaymak on warm bread and serve for breakfast.”
