Istanbul Katmer is a pastry containing salt and sugar, which we can call a kind of donut. Sometimes katmer can be prepared a little sweeter. And in any case, the taste of sugar is felt. Katmer will be more delicious when consumed hot or warmed up. One of the reasons for this is that when it cools down, the cheese inside hardens, the oil becomes dull and the dough loses its soft form. Istanbul Katmer is more like a plain pastry. Although it does not contain any ingredients such as cheese, it is very delicious with its springy structure and special cooking technique. There is also Istanbul katmer type, which is made in a pan and whose dough becomes firmer when cooked. You can consider katmeri, which is more preferred in our eastern regions, as an alternative to pancakes or buns.

The simple form of katmer makes it a more useful table dish. Namely, katmer can be consumed alone along with tea or coffee if you wish; Anyone who wishes can treat it like a bread and eat it with tomatoes, cheese and other ingredients. In the Antep region, people may prefer to eat katmer alone for breakfast. In this case, Istanbul katmer serves as a practical breakfast. It also keeps you full.
