Ingredients :
1 glass flour
1/4 glass water
2 eggs
1/5 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/3 glasses starch
Filling :
1 glass melted margarine
1 1/2 glasses ground walnuts
Syrup :
2 glasses granulated sugar
2 glasses water
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Preparation :
Prepare the dough according to the dough for the baklava recipe. Place the dough pieces on each other on a woodwn board. Cut these pieces according to the size of the tray where they will be cooked. Grease the tray lightly and place one layer of dough over. Pour 1/2 tablespoon melted margarine evenly over the dough. Place only half of the pieces of dough on the tray so that there is one layer of dough, and margarine over that. When half of the dough is used up, sprinkle ground walnuts over. Over the walnuts place another layer of dough, spread some margarine, then another layer of dough, continue until all the pieces of dough are used. Cut the pieces of dough into the shape of baklava, place in a moderately heated oven and cook for an hour until the colour of the baklavas turn golden brown. Put granulated sugar, water and lemon juice into a pan, melt the sugar over moderate heat and boil for about 15 minutes until the mixture becomes a syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes, brush with but.

Yeah, I've noticed that
Overhere it's alwyas döner, kebap, dürüm, but I've never seen mantı in a restaurant for example (except prepacked in shops) or the really delicious mezes you get to taste in Turkey.
Not to mention kokoreç or işkembe çorbası..

Mantı in English = logi
How ?
mantık=logic mantı =logi

Güney'de bir turistik lokanta, yemek listesine yemeklerin Türkçe adlarini, karşına da Ingilizcelerini koymus. Mantı'nin ingilizcesi olarak da "Logi" geçiyormus.
ingilizcede böyle bir sözcük mevcut degil. Peki nasil icad edilmis?
Arastirmis ve bulmuslar: "Logic" ingilizcede "mantık" demek. Son harfini atmislar, olmus "mantı" !

Selin, thanks for posting this great recipe, but I would like to remind you for the second time that this site is used by English speaking people who are interested in Turkish, therefore the language of this site is English, not Turkish, Please stick to the rules. Thank you!

Yes catwoman,i agree with you,but if we dont see any Turkish text in the site how will we learn Turkish ?!
TC helping people to learn Turkish,and if people didnt use turkish texts we will never learn Turish.

Selin use English and also Turkish,and its not long texts in Turkish,its short ones
İ see it as a challenge for learners which it is important to have if we ever want learn.
And in a day or two,someone will translate it,or ask Selin to do it.

That would be great for the learning process,im sure if you look at it from that prospect you will agree with me ,right ?

in a touristic resturant İn south, people wrote english meanings of names of turkish food
near of their turkish food names.Here Logi is written near of Mantı. But here is not such a
word ''Logi'' in English.So where did they find this word.So that
Mantık=logic
Mantı=logi

Canli, this is your perspective, which makes sense. However, NOT everybody is here to actually learn Turkish first of all, and second of all, most people don't like it when they don't understand what is being talked about on the site, more so - they see it as rude (unless it's a thread specifically for practicing Turkish).
Even though your point of view makes sense, the rule on this site that has been decided on is that English is the language for conversations. Practicing Turkish is absolutely a great thing to do, but do it under appropriate thread.

Thank you Selin for translating your post.
