Kadayıf is made by pouring liquid wheat dough onto a rotating hot plate, after which sweeteners are added and the preparation is baked or fried.[1] Kadayıf can also be used as the base for pudding, or prepared as noodles.

History

The exact origins of kadayıf are unknown. The Turkish Patent Institute states that the dish originated in Diyarbakır in the 19th century, but there is a rival claim of origin in Bingöl. According to oral tradition in Diyarbakır, the first kadayıf vendor in the city was an Armenian shop owner named Agop.
