Katayef




Katayef is the traditional sweet that is made during the Holy month of Ramadan and Eid.

Ingredients

6 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of yeast (ferment)
6 cups of milk
3 cups of fresh Kushta cream
3 cups of home made kushta
3 cups of minced walnut
1 cup of powdery sugar
1 tablespoon of rose water
2 tablespoons of orange-flower water
1/2 cup of lemon jam
1/2 cup of fine pistachio
6 cups of frying oil
3 cups of Syrup

Method

1) Mix the flour,yeast (ferment) and the milk until you get a soft and combined dough.

2) Keep it aside until it gets double the size.

3) Fill the pouring bad (that has a steel head) with part of the dough.

4) Start pouring small circles on a steel pan you have put on the fire. You can make the circles as big or as small as you like.

5) After 1 minute of pouring the circles turn the Katayef to the other side for 2 seconds and then we take them off the steel pan.

6) Mix the finely minced walnuts with the powdery sugar, rose water, orange-flower water.

7) Take 1 teaspoon of the mixture and distribute it at the middle of the Katayef .
Do the same thing with the Kushta, take 1 table spoon and distribute at the middle of the Katayef. You can make 6 of the walnut mixture and another 6 of the Kushta filling, it depends on the quantity you want from each.

8) Close the Katayef (with the filling inside) to make a half moon shape. Close it tightly by pressing on the edges of the dough.

9) Fry the filled Kateyef with the oil until it gets a golden color.

10) Take them out and put them in the Syrup for few minutes.
