Middle Eastern Ramadaan Treats - Katayif
- 2/3 tsp salt
- 3 cup flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp yeast
- 3 tbsp powder milk
- 3 cup water
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 3 cup mixed nuts (grinned)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 tbsp coconut (optional)
- To make the pancake like smooth katayif batter, you need to start out by mixing all dry ingredients in blender or food processor.
- KEEP ASIDE 1/4 cup of water from the 3 cups you have and the bicarbonate of soda
- While all dry ingredients are mixing together, slowly pour in the remaining of your water.
- When well mixed, set aside for 2 hours.
- After being set aside, mix in a separate bowl the bicarbonate soda and the 1/4 water.
- Then mix gently in with the batter.
- Get a flat surfaced nonstick pan to a medium heat (recommend not using a gas stove).
- Then put the batter in a container that has a hole
- When pouring the batter onto the hot pan, remember to keep your hand as steady as possible.
- To create a perfect circle.
- Fry until a golden colour
- REMEMBER!
- Only fry one side.
- When you have fried them, lay them out on a towel or cloth and pack them on top on each other.
- ( uncooked side against uncooked soft) this keeps the moisture in.
- Then let it cool off.
- For the filling, mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
- You can literally put anything you want inside this katayif.
- Raisons, cocoa, sugar ect.
- After the katyif has cooled down, take a teaspoon of the filling and place it in the center of the katayif and fold in half, so it creates a half-moon shape.
- Now we take all our but filled katayif and place it in the oven at 180A reheated.
- Each katayif should have a block of butter on it and the tray should be buttered as well.
- Let it cook for about 20 mins.
- In a pot with 3 cups of boiling water and 2 cups of sugar, get up to a boil and then dip the cooked katayif in it.
- And then lay out to serve.
