Flija

Kosovo · Europe

Short description: Flija is a layered batter pie built from many thin, cream-brushed sheets cooked until lightly browned and tender.
Ingredients: Layered batter made with flour, water, salt, cream, butter or oil, and often yogurt or kaymak.
Cultural note: Layered batter dishes are often made slowly for gatherings, where repeated brushing and baking turn simple pantry staples into a shared centerpiece.
Common misconception: It is not a sweet pastry by default; the texture is closer to layered savory crepes than cake.
