Qataifs Stuffed with Nuts

Author; Marisa Lopez Chicote 

Ingredients 

For the dough 

  • 1 glass of flour 
  • 2 and a half glasses of semolina fine
  • 1 sachet of baking powder, 
  • 1 tablespoon of dry yeast, 
  • 4 glasses of water 
  • A pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar

For the filling 

  • Pistachios, coconut flakes,cinnamon, raisins and hazelnuts

For the syrup 

  • 2 glasses of sugar
  • 1 glass of water 
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice 
  • 1 tablespoon of orange blossom water 

Elaboration:

 Syrup:

First I prepare the syrup because it should be a bit cold before we can use it. 

In a pan, add all the syrup ingredients and heat medium fire until we get a little syrup. 

Qatayefs dough :

Mix  all the ingredients and beat in the blender and let the dough rest for 10 minutes and make them in a frying pan without oil only for one side.

 Filling  

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl 

Once we have our qatayefs dough ready, we can start to filling and close. Heat cooking oil in a frying pan and fry the stuffed qatayefs and once it have a golden colour take out and cover with the syrup and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.

We can do out qatayefs also in the oven to be lighter
