Traditional Albanian fli and fresh cakes

Fli baked the old way, one golden layer at a time.

Thin layers of batter and cream, baked slowly until tender and golden. Order a whole fli for the family table, or a fresh cake for something sweet.

What is fli?

A dish made with patience, one layer at a time.

Fli, also known as flija, is one of the most loved dishes of Albanian cooking. A simple batter is spread in thin rays across a round pan, brushed with cream and baked. Then comes another layer, and another, until the pan is full.

Traditionally it is baked under a saç, a heavy domed lid covered with hot embers. A whole fli can take hours to make, which is why it is saved for family gatherings, holidays and the people you love.

How it is made

  1. 1

    Spread in rays

    A thin batter is spread from the centre of the pan to the edge, like the spokes of a wheel.

  2. 2

    Brushed with cream

    Each layer gets a coat of cream before the next one goes on top.

  3. 3

    Baked layer by layer

    Heat from above bakes every layer until the whole fli turns tall and golden.

Serve it the traditional way

  • Honey
  • Pickled vegetables
  • White cheese
  • Yogurt
