Where does the name of the 'Şıllık' dessert come from?

The Şıllık dessert is a dessert unique to the Şanlıurfa region.

The word 'Şileki', which means wet or watery in Kurdish, has evolved into 'Şıllık' today due to the deformation of the term by some columnists in the early 1990s.

The Şıllık dessert is served by wrapping walnuts inside a crepe-like batter called 'akıtma' and then drizzling it with syrup.

There are two varieties. Rolled Şıllık is made by wrapping walnuts or, rarely, pistachios inside the akıtma, a crepe-like dough, and pouring a very thin syrup over it.
