Ingredients of the dough: (to make ~ 20 qatayefs)
• 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup fine semolina
• ½ teaspoon instant yeast or dry active yeast
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 ½ cups warm water
Ingredients of the filling: (to make 10 qatayef with each filling)
• 200 grams white or Akkawi cheese, and
• 1 cup chopped walnuts, not too coarsely chopped, but not too finely either, mixed with 2 teaspoons sugar
Ingredients of the sugar syrup:
• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
Direction to make the qatayef:
• If using dry active yeast, start by activating the yeast by mixing it with the sugar and half a cup of the warm water in a medium bowl. Water must be lukewarm
• Set it aside for 10 minutes until the yeast foams
• Then add all the other ingredients and whisk well until all batter is smooth
• * If using instant yeast, mix all the ingredients together in a medium bowl and whisk well until the batter is smooth
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm dry place until batter increases in volume, approximately 1 hour
• When dough had risen, whisk it again
• Heat a large, flat, non-stick shallow pan, over medium heat, and spray with some cooking spray
• When the pan is hot pour ¼ cup of the batter. This should give you a qatayef with 4-inch diameter
• Cook the qatayef until bubbles form all over the top and the batter dries off, and the bottom is golden brown
• Remove from heat, DO NOT flip to cook the other side
• Place on tray, brown side down, without sticking to the other qatayefs
• Cover with plastic wrap and let cool
• Fill the center of the cooked qatayef with 2 teaspoons of cheese or walnuts, and fold it into a half circle, and pinch the edges carefully to close it
• When you finish filling all the qatayefs, deep fry them in vegetable oil. Fry them for 2 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy
• Cover then with some sugar syrup thoroughly
• And enjoy!
Direction to make the sugar syrup:
• In a medium sauce pan, mix the sugar and the water until the sugar dissolves
• Bring to a boil and then add the lemon juice
• Let the mixture boil for approximately 10 minutes. The mixture should start to thicken very slightly, but it will continue to thicken after it cools completely
• After 10 minutes, remove from heat and add the orange blossom water, and stir
• Allow to cool a bit and transfer into a container
• Cover well and store at room temperature

My love story with Qatayef started 40 yrs ago when living in Palestine. I got served it while visiting a friend and her mother made it for us. It was and still is the best I’ve ever tasted. Many years later I travelled back and found a shop that sold fresh Qatayef, I was so happy. I never made it as I didn’t even know what they were named so I didn’t know where to search. Now I know the name and how to make it. Thank you!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
wonderful recepie
mouth watering
you are the only UA-cam lady I have come across who also puts the ingredients down!
Naz Khan i hate it when the ingredients are not listed or they tell you go to my website to get it

I'm going to tell you very interesting story. My husband was born in Egypt,he was just 5 years old when he emigrated with his big family to Armenia.We are married for long time,everytime when I'm making Russian pancakes he is telling me that his father was making similar Russian pancakes,but with walnuts.
After 50 years of marriage ,finally, I look in UA-cam Egyptian pancake and OMG I see this recipe. I'm not going to tell him,but I will surprise him making of this Qatayef tomorrow in the morning.
Amira darling,bc of you,finally my husband will test Qatayef and remember his childhood. Thank you for recipes. I'm so excited,to see his reaction. 👍🏻😘
Omg this is so sweet of you. Thank you for sharing. I hope it turns out good. Please let me know

My husband has always bought the dough and then added his own filling of peanuts, coconut and golden raisins. Tomorrow ISA, thanks to your video, he is going to make his own dough. Thank you for posting your recipe.
Bob Cooper what about the hishta atayef you must try it delicacy unique ❣ ummm !!!

I refuse to allow this a Ramadan-only dessert 🤣
Thanks you
thx mam
شكرا
it looks so good !
i need to do it for iftar maybe tomorrow :)
thank you
Best atayef recipe ever, after trying and failing for the last 5 years- this worked alhumdolilah
I used half a packet of yeast and doubled the sugar along with a addition of orange blossom water
Amazing!!
Thank you very much Wendy I'm so glad to know they worked for you
I'm still making this.. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 coming back for reminders
👍👍👍💟
Such a good way of explaining! This was awesome. Mine turned out AMAAAAZING, and I am from East Jerusalem so I know what I'm saying. Honestly it came out better than the best ones in the market. Two things I did a bit differently: 1) I added a bit of cinnamon to the nuts. 2) I added a bit of black seeds for the ones of the cheese (as they were cooking). THANK YOU.
Arda A. Im so happy to hear. Thank you for sharing
Amira can we also bake them or do we have to fry them.
Kiri cheese,is good for filling the quatayep..ty
I can make the batter without the semolina? Just baking powder and constarch even if possible
Hi Amira! I just made this recipe today- it was good! My husband and my daughter enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing. Quick question: What is the best way to store leftover qatayef?
Elizabeth Arias non stick perchament paper freezing it for years and to unfreeze just microwave it half to one minute be ready like freshly baked
Does it work well baked?
Ramadan Kareem Amira...uh, 2 years late. I'm on the hunt for an ata'if recipe that is easy to make, tasty, but can also be made in a large batch and frozen (I want to serve it for eid breakfast so I don't have time to start the cooking from scratch on the morning of eid). So I wanted to ask you, have you ever tried to make with regular pancake batter (no yeast therefore faster)? And have you ever made it and frozen it before the frying stage? can it be fried from frozen? have you ever tried it with crepe batter (again, no yeast)? Sorry for a million Qs but I really want THE perfect ata'if recipe!
Where did you get the pan??? Please do you have a link for it?
Ramadan Kareem, can we replace white flour with wheat flour, ?
How should we preserve instant yeast in refrigerator or outside refrigerator?
Hey hi... I'm from India n I was searching for authentic Eid recipes n I saw ur video so do you know the recipe for (sewai)... it's a sweet Noddles type thingy but I can't find any good recipes but I have heard the stories that it's wonderful.
Can i use kiri cheese?
I love katayaf. 😫
I tried it but I feel like I need to do it once more to perfect it there are a few things I noticed that worked for me.
*I tried it and the batter gets bubbly after maybe like 1 hour and 15 minutes. 30 minutes is not enough to let the batter sit.
*It helps to cover them before stuffing them because they get really fluffy and soft.
*BUT here in the USA I wouldn't know that type of cheese to use what I used was half ricotta and mozzarella cheese but I didn't like it :( I was expecting a more sweeter and cheesier taste.
* I failed in the sugar liquid I think I let it sit for to long in the stove because it became too hard :( -waste of sugar lol
Any suggestions ?? should I sugar the cheese ? can I use just mozzarella ?
Latina Muslim And Proud honey, just use cream cheese or feta cheese. Add a bit of sugar if you like.
No milk? I had rcps always with milk....( thank u I'll try))
How long can we store them?

What is this dress you're wearing?
Can I bake it
Also can I fill it with savoury filling like meat
Morzia Ferdous yes you can bake it. but if you do, you still have to cover it generously with some fat (like butter or ghee) to make sure it bakes nicely, otherwise it will turn out too hard.
i wouldn't recommend that you fill it with meat as the dough is kind of sweet and closer to cakes. if you want to have a savoury filling, try usigng the dough from my hot dog bites or zaatar rolls video. that dough will work great to fill with savoury fillings.
Adopt meeeeee!!!

Do u have to put in some orange blossom water
Yosra Kmail Hi Yosra. no you don't have to put the orange blossom water. it just give it a very nice aroma, but it's totally optional
My family usually cooks them in the oven and not fried
Semolina is sameed?
Unicorn Vloggers smeed
نعم .... سميد ....
If I have instant yeast do i mix in the water?
Ibraheem Shaqqou yes but no need to let it foam up
@@CookingWithAmira okay thank you
Can I use bisquick mix for the batter lol they are like mini syrup pancakes
Virgo Vixen it uses samolina and taste completely different than pancake
Virgo Vixen I’m not sure. I don’t think so
mandi
Can I use cream cheese
Crazynoor123 i bet you can use cream chese Philadelphia original is best or fresh muzarela chese in water not salted just plain .

alguien me puede ayudar en español por fabor
Can I use cottage cheese?
rj rather use Ricotta cheese
Why using left hand?
because i'm left handed ;)
Mine keeps ripping on the bottom when I fold it. What am I doing wrong?
Deborah Faham Hi Deborah. did you let them cool completely? they rip easier if they are warm. also did u use the semolina ?
it's already already made dough for this that you could purchase at Middle Eastern Market and then just put the feeling on and make the syrup
Vllt auch auf deutsch die Zutaten
I am currently making it. But the yeast doesn't foam. I will share the results :)
Aytan Mahmoud so how did it turn out?
It turned out ok but not as good looking as yours :) Thank you for the recipe
Aytan Mahmoud hi Aytan, sorry to hear that dear. well i hope that it tasted good at least
Yes it tasted good. My husband was surprised in a good way. I am very grateful to you for sharing your recepies with us. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Cheers xoxo
GREAT ATAYEF VIDEO ... AND TRUE ONE BITE SATISFIED ME LIKE FOR HALF A DAY OF HUNGER THE BEST ATAYEF IN BROOKLYN NEW YORK IS IN DAMASCUS BAKERY ATLANTIC AVENUE GOOGLE.COM WILL SHOW YOU MENU AND ALL .
Mam ur recepie is little bit wrong , I think flour is not 1& half but u have to add more flour to get the same consistency.i tried this recepie my batter became more liquidy then I added more flour then it was ok
Hi Datta, thank you for trying out this recipe. I'm glad it worked out for you at the end. But the recipe is not wrong, I make it with the same ingredients every time. Maybe you didn't use the 1/2 semolina, that's why it was too runny? Or maybe you used more than 2 1/2 cups water? (1 cup = 250 ml)
@@CookingWithAmira i made this recepie converting cups to grams 1 cup= 130 grams , I used total 190 grams flour ,but batter became more liquidy
@@CookingWithAmira flour -192 cms,semolina 83 gms,yeast1.5 gms,baking powder 4gms,sugar42 gsm,water 750 gms
I dont know why.. The result its not good... It cant fold... Sorry....😢😢😢😢
don't try this recipe, she must've left something out because it won't turn out right
