Flija

Flija is a layered dish of thin batter and cream in Kosovo and Albanian cuisine. Its batter of flour, water and salt is cooked one layer at a time beneath a saç, a domed iron cover heated with burning coals. Cream is brushed over a cooked layer before more batter is added. It can be served with cheese, yogurt, honey, preserves or pickled vegetables.^[1]

Zdravko Janićević, a cook in Berevce near Štrpce, adds eggs to his batter and describes arranging each layer in a cross shape. He learned the method from his mother and recalls flija being served to visiting relatives with Šar cheese and sour milk.^[2]
