Knead the flour, water and salt into a smooth dough, then cover and rest it for 15 minutes.
Melt the butter in a separate bowl and set it aside, then beat the egg yolk so it is ready.
Divide the dough into 4 portions, roll each one as thinly as yufka and brush the tops with melted butter.
Fold the buttered sheets into katmer shape and brush their top surfaces with egg yolk.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and cook the katmers for 10 minutes, until both sides turn golden.
Remove them from the pan, rest for 1 minute and cut into triangles.
Transfer to a warm serving plate, lay clotted cream on top, dust with powdered sugar and serve with strong brewed tea.
💡 Tip: Rest the dough for at least 15 minutes so the gluten relaxes and it does not tear while rolling. Brush butter onto each layer separately, not all at once. Egg yolk on the top surface gives a glossy crust as it cooks.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the hot katmer, place on a plate, top with clotted cream, dust with powdered sugar and serve with strong brewed tea.
