Step 1
Cut kaymak into 4 thick slices or 8 bite-sized chunks. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it foams and smells nutty, ~90 seconds.
Step 3
Gently lay kaymak pieces into the hot butter without crowding. Fry 2 minutes per side until golden-brown and crispy at the edges.
Step 4
Transfer kaymak to a serving plate. Pour the warm honey over the top.
Step 5
Scatter walnuts and a pinch of salt and cinnamon over the honey. Serve immediately while still warm and melting.
