Do you need a foolproof kayaf recipe? I have just that for you. Think of katayif as a celebratory pancake like treat that we enjoy during Ramadan and nid. It’s porous and fluffy and typically stuffed with cheese, nuts or ishta. To make the batter is quite simple. To a blender, you are going to add fine semolina, allpurpose flour, baking powder, yeast, and some sugar along with warm water. You mix this all together and then you have a batter that looks just like this. I find it to be a little bit looser than your typical pancake batter. Ladle about a/3 of a cup of the batter into that perfect round shape into a non-stick skillet. As you wait, you’ll notice all these pores appear to the top. Once it’s completely dried off, add it to a clean towel while you make the rest. You want the bottom to be golden brown just like this. At this point, you are ready to stuff your katay. In this family, we love a cheese katay. So, I am stuffing mine with sweet cheese that I add a little bit of more sugar to and some cinnamon. Now, a tip is to not add too much cheese to the edges so you’re able to close it and it doesn’t ooze out. I like to air fry mine for about 6 minutes, 3 minutes each side at 400° F. Go ahead and dip it in a simple syrup or add a drizzle of honey if you prefer and enjoy this
