How to Make Katayif The Easy Way

  1. In a blender, combine 1 cup of water, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ cup pancake mix, ¼ cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon active dry yeast.
  2. Blend on high speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the blender, then blend for another minute until smooth.
  3. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup walnuts until finely chopped, but not powdered.
  4. Transfer the chopped walnuts to a bowl. Add ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ cup shredded coconut.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook until golden brown on one side and small bubbles form on the surface of the uncooked side.
  7. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  8. Remove pancakes from the pan and let them cool slightly.
  9. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the walnut filling into the center of each pancake.
  10. Bring the edges of the pancake together to form a half-moon shape and press firmly to seal.
  11. Repeat until all pancakes and filling are used.
  12. Lightly brush the assembled katayif with unsalted butter on both sides.
  13. Place the katayif on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown on both sides (watch carefully to prevent burning).
  14. Dip the warm katayif into cooled rosewater (attar) or simple syrup for extra flavor.
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy!
