Qatayef (Ramadan pancakes) Recipe from Um Kitchen

This sweet is prepared only during the Muslim Holy

month of Ramadan which will start around the 7th of

December this year. You will find stands set up

everywhere you go in Palestine with a hot plate where

they pour the batter and in seconds you have round

qatayef (pan- cakes) which are placed on top of each

other and weighed according to the amount you want to

buy. As soon as you reach home, you need to separate

them and leave them to cool, otherwise they will stick

to each other.

 

 

 

Ingredients:

 

Qatayef (Pancakes). Buy as many as you will need and

no more, estimating a minimum of 2 per person.

 

Stuffing option 1: White sweetened cheese (can be

found in all supermarkets), pinch of cinnamon, sugar

to taste.

 

Stuffing option 2: walnuts, coconut, sugar to taste,

pinch of cinnamon.

 

Sugar water: 1 glass of water, 2 glasses of sugar, a

few drops of lemon juice.

For filling option # 1: cut the white cheese into very

small pieces and shred them using your hands. Add the

cinnamon and sugar and mix.

 

For filling option # 2: smash the walnuts and add the

coconut and cinnamon and sugar together. Place a small

amount of either one of the fillings in the center of

the Qatayef (pancake) and fold one side towards the

other and stick them together by pressing on the

sides. You now have a crescent shaped pancake. Fry or

bake until golden brown on both sides. Dip into the

sugar water and remove. Serve hot.

 

Sugar water: To prepare, mix all the ingredients in a

pan over the stove. Stir continuously until it boils.

Continue to stir until the mixture thickens and the

sugar is totally dissolved.
