Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, and salt in a deep bowl until smooth.
Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed pot, add the flour, and toast for 7 minutes until light hazelnut colored.
Pour the milk mixture into the toasted flour in a thin stream and loosen any lumps with a whisk.
Cook the hosmerim over medium low heat for 18 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick.
Remove the pot from the heat, rest for 3 minutes, then stir again for a glossy texture.
Divide the hot hosmerim into bowls, sprinkle with walnuts and cinnamon, and serve.
💡 Tip: Toast the flour in butter without burning it; a heavy bottomed rice pot gives steadier heat for this dessert than a thin pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Divide the hosmerim into hot bowls, finish with walnuts and cinnamon, and serve with plain Turkish coffee if desired.
