katiméria

Made in Sámos, Límnos, Kos and other islands, katiméria (also known as kattimérka in Cyprus, where they originate) are thin fried pancakes or pastries (some use phýllo, others no).

They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes; a common version is stuffed with myzithra cheese and rolled into spirals, fried in olive oil and topped honey and cinnamon, or with grape syrup or carob syrup. Others call them tiganites.
