Kattimerka with Epsima (petimezi)

Kattimerka, is a Cypriot traditional pastry dessert made with dough, olive oil and cinnamon and were fried in a traditional frying pan called sadji, which unlike the Arab Saj, which is dome shaped, the Cypriot sadji resembles more like a wok.  The ingredients used are similar to pischies but instead of being bathed in the syrup these are served with epsima or honey.
