Şıllık is a dessert from Urfa made by stacking thin crepes cooked one at a time on a griddle, sprinkling walnuts between the layers, and soaking them in syrup. The batter is thinner than standard crepe batter, and the sheets are cooked on a lightly oiled griddle rather than fried. The layers are folded and sliced like traditional Turkish katmer, so each bite has both tender dough and walnuts.

Step by Step
How to make it?
1
Make the syrup
15 min
Bring the sugar and water to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 12 minutes. Add the lemon juice just before removing it from the heat. Set the syrup aside. Serve it warm with the layered crepes: ice-cold syrup will not seep between them, while boiling-hot syrup will make them fall apart.
2
Whisk the batter
8 min
Whisk the flour, salt, egg, and water until no lumps remain. The batter should flow off a spoon after coating it, leaving a thin film behind. If it seems too thick, add 50 ml more water. Straining the batter is the surest way to remove lumps.
3
Cook the crepe sheets
35 min
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with oil. Pour in a ladleful of batter and swirl the pan to spread it into a thin sheet. Flip when the edges lift away from the pan and the top looks matte; cook the other side for 30 seconds. Make 12 to 14 sheets this way, stacking them with parchment paper between each one.
4
Layer and add the walnuts
10 min
Spread a crepe sheet on a serving platter and sprinkle walnuts over it. Cover it with another sheet and add more walnuts. Stack all the sheets this way, leaving the top sheet without walnuts for now. Cut the stack in half with a knife, then slice it into 12 pieces.
5
Soak with the syrup
5 min
Slowly pour the warm syrup over the cut lines with a ladle. After each ladleful, wait 10 seconds and watch it soak in. Stop when syrup starts pooling on top. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts over the dessert and serve.
Reminder
As you stack the crepes, add walnuts between every layer starting with the first one. The syrup only passes through the walnut layers; a dry layer will stay hard.

Yaprakları tavada çok pişirmeyin, kenarı kuruyanı katlarken kırılıyor. Şerbeti ılık dökmek en iyi sonucu verdi. Cevizi katlar arasına serperken ölçülü olun, fazla koyunca katlar birbirine tutunmuyor ve şerbette açılıyor.
