What is Sivas katmer?
Sivas katmer is a traditional sweet from Sivas in central Turkey, made by rolling dough thin and preparing it with butter and sugar before baking. It is a simple, home-style pastry, though its shape and exact preparation can vary between recipes. The name katmer is used for different regional pastries, so this version is distinctively associated with Sivas.
Served warm, it has a lightly crisp outside and a tender, buttery, sweet centre.

It is mainly a source of carbohydrates and fat, with comparatively little protein or fibre. For a lighter serving, enjoy a modest piece and keep the drink unsweetened.
