A staple breakfast dish in Turkey, bal kaymak is a delicious combination of kaymak – a traditional dairy product produced from water buffalo milk, very similar to clotted cream – that is generously doused with honey. The dish is served as a spread or a sweet dip alongside tea or a variety of other traditional breakfast dishes and is typically paired with bread. Rarely, it is served as a dessert and it sometimes comes garnished with ground, chopped, or whole walnuts.
