Warm the honey, water, and lemon juice gently for 5 minutes, then set aside without making a thick syrup.
Coarsely crush the hazelnuts and mix them with cinnamon.
Soften the dried yufka briefly with a damp cloth.
Brush butter between the yufka layers, sprinkle with hazelnuts, and layer them in the pan.
Crisp both sides over low heat for 15 minutes in total.
Drizzle the honey mixture over the hot borek and rest for 5 minutes.
💡 Tip: Do not wet the yufka too much; a few seconds of moisture is enough to keep it crisp.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the slices hot; strained yogurt on the side gives a balanced freshness if desired.
