Frequently Asked Questions About Kaymak & Lor Börek
What is Kaymak & Lor Börek?
Kaymak & Lor Börek is a Turkish pastry filled with kaymak, a rich clotted cream, and lor, a mild Turkish curd cheese. The filling can taste savory or sweet depending on the recipe, so the name alone does not specify its seasoning.
Is Kaymak & Lor Börek sweet or savory?
Kaymak & Lor Börek can be either sweet or savory. Some versions season the lor with salt, while others add sugar to the filling; check the recipe or ask the bakery, since the combination of kaymak and lor does not settle the question.
How do you stop Kaymak & Lor Börek filling from leaking?
To keep Kaymak & Lor Börek filling inside, drain wet lor, avoid overfilling the pastry, and seal the edges firmly. Place the seam underneath on the baking tray so it is less likely to open as the börek cooks.
Can you make Kaymak & Lor Börek with store-bought phyllo?
Yes, store-bought phyllo works for Kaymak & Lor Börek. Thaw it fully before assembling, handle it gently, and cover unused sheets with a clean towel so they do not dry out and crack.
What kind of lor cheese works best in Kaymak & Lor Börek?
Fresh, mild lor works best in Kaymak & Lor Börek because it lets the kaymak’s creamy flavor come through. If the cheese is wet, drain it first; excess moisture can make the pastry soggy rather than crisp.
Can ricotta replace lor in Kaymak & Lor Börek?
Yes, well-drained ricotta can stand in for lor in Kaymak & Lor Börek, although it is not identical and may taste richer. Drain it thoroughly and taste before adding salt, since the moisture and seasoning can vary.
How is Kaymak & Lor Börek usually served?
Kaymak & Lor Börek is commonly served warm, when the pastry is at its crispest and the filling remains creamy. Tea suits a breakfast or snack serving; a savory version also pairs well with a simple salad or yogurt.
Can you assemble Kaymak & Lor Börek ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble Kaymak & Lor Börek ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it. Keep the filling well drained and bake it soon after assembly so the pastry does not absorb too much moisture.
How do you reheat Kaymak & Lor Börek without making it soggy?
Reheat Kaymak & Lor Börek in an oven rather than a microwave to help the pastry crisp up again. Warm it until the centre is hot, and avoid covering it tightly while heating, since trapped steam softens the layers.
Can Kaymak & Lor Börek be frozen?
Yes, Kaymak & Lor Börek can be frozen after baking. Let it cool, portion it, and seal it well; reheat it in the oven after thawing for a better pastry texture than you would get from reheating it in a microwave.

What is Kaymak & Lor Börek?
Kaymak & Lor Börek is a Turkish pastry made by layering or wrapping thin börek dough around kaymak, a rich clotted cream, and lor, a mild, fresh curd cheese. Baked until golden, it has crisp pastry outside and a soft, creamy, slightly crumbly centre. In Turkey it is enjoyed warm at breakfast, with tea, or as a filling snack; elsewhere, it works well as a savoury brunch dish or light lunch alongside salad. The pastry and kaymak make it rich in energy and fat, while lor contributes protein—about 10.5 g per 100 g. For a lighter meal, choose a modest piece and serve it with fresh vegetables rather than another rich side.
