Katayef





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 lemmon jam
1/2 cup of fine pistachio
6 cups of frying oil
3 cups of Syrup


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Step by Step:
  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.
  5. You can make the circles as big or as small as you like.
  6. 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.
  7. Mix the finely minced walnuts with the powdery sugar, rose water, orange-flower water.
  8. Take 1 teaspoon of the mixture and distribute it at the middle of the Katayef .
  9. Do the same thing with the Kushta, take 1 table spoon and distribute at the middle of the Katayef.
  10. You can make 6 of the walnut mixture and another 6 of the Kushta filling, it depends on the quantity you want from each.
  11. Close the Katayef (with the filling inside) to make a half moon shape.
  12. close it tightly by pressing on the edges of the dough.
  13. Fry the filled Kateyef with the oil until it gets a golden color.
  14. Take them out and put them in the Syrup for few minutes.
  15. Take them out of the Syrup and serve them hot.
