Mix the warm milk, warm water, instant yeast, and granulated sugar in a large bowl.
Add the flour and salt, then whisk until you have a smooth, pourable batter.
Cover the batter and let it ferment for 40 minutes, until small bubbles form on the surface.
Wipe a pan with a little vegetable oil and heat it over medium heat.
Pour in one ladle of batter and rotate the pan to spread it thinly.
Cook the cizleme for 1.5 minutes per side, until spotted.
Brush the hot cizleme with butter, stack them, and serve.
💡 Tip: The batter should have the consistency of boza; if it is too thick, it will bulk up in the pan, so loosen it with half a tea glass of warm water.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the cizleme hot with butter, white cheese, honey, and strong tea to complete the breakfast tray.
