Qatayef or Atayef is an Arabic pancake filled with cheese and nuts. Usually served during ramadhan. The authentic recipe calls for Akkawi cheese which is non existent here so I used Belcube cheese (that was in my fridge this morning) :-)
1/2 tsp instant yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup warm water
Mix the above ingredients set aside until frothy for 5 min. Then add the flour and the rest of the ingredients, mix well, cover and let it rise for 30 min.
1 cup All purpose flour
1/4 cup sugi (semolina)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pour batter onto ungreased nonstick pan just like how you would make a pancake.
1/2 tsp instant yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup warm water
Mix the above ingredients set aside until frothy for 5 min. Then add the flour and the rest of the ingredients, mix well, cover and let it rise for 30 min.
1 cup All purpose flour
1/4 cup sugi (semolina)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pour batter onto ungreased nonstick pan just like how you would make a pancake.
So not cook the other side of the pancake. Remove from pan once the TOP part is dry with no wet mixture
For the filling I used Belcube cheese, sugar and cashew nibs. You can always use any other nuts , cream cheese, feta or even ricotta.
Pinch the edges.
Deep fry until golden. Pour sugar syrup on both sides.
Orange Blossom Syrup
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp orange blossom water
Simmer sugar and water until thickened and all sugar is melted.
Add orange blossom water. Alternatively u can use rose water
