Melt the butter in a wide pan over medium heat, and when the foam settles, add the flour.
Roast the flour in the butter for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until its color turns lightly.
Beat the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Add the beaten eggs to the roasted flour and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, forming soft pieces.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top, stir for 30 seconds and remove from the heat.
Take the pan directly to the table and serve with hot bread.
💡 Tip: Stir constantly while caramelizing the flour in butter; otherwise it burns on the bottom and the nutty aroma that defines murtuga is lost. Add the eggs beaten, which is the key to separate soft pieces.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Bring the hot murtuga to the table straight from the pan, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top and serve with hot tandir bread or yufka bread.
