In Turkey, what is the crêpe-like dish called?

In Turkey, the crêpe-like dish is called akıtma.

Akıtma is a thin Turkish pancake made by pouring a relatively loose batter onto a hot cooking surface. The name is related to the idea of pouring or flowing, matching the technique of spreading batter into a thin layer. Depending on the region and recipe, the batter may contain flour, eggs, milk or water, and yeast or other leavening can affect its texture.

It belongs to a broad family of thin pancakes found across Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasus and the Middle East. Similar foods may look alike while differing in batter, thickness, fillings and serving customs. That is why akıtma should not automatically be treated as identical to a French crêpe or to a filled gözleme.

Spelling and transliteration can vary in English-language material, especially when Turkish characters are omitted. The Turkish spelling uses “ı,” the dotless i. In this quiz’s culinary context, however, akıtma is the specific canonical answer rather than a generic word such as pancake.
