Qumështor

Qumështor is a simple and traditional Albanian baked custard, made with eggs, milk, flour, butter, and sugar. It is typically eaten by the Orthodox population of southeastern Albania before the beginning of Lent. The recipe is straightforward - the eggs are beaten and mixed with sugar, melted butter, and flour. After carefully adding the milk and mixing again, the liquid is baked in the oven until it develops a golden brown color. Qumështor is then cut into individual portions and served chilled. Some variations include various flavorings, such as vanilla extract, lemon, and orange, but the original version still remains the most popular.
