Kataifi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, honey, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes. Add cinnamon powder and remove from heat. Let it cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the chopped nuts with cinnamon and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Kataifi

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Melt the unsalted butter and set aside. Take a portion of kataifi dough and unwind it to create long strands.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Kataifi

    Grease a baking dish with some melted butter. Take small amounts of the kataifi strands, place some nut filling in the center, and roll them up tightly. Place them seam-side down in the baking dish.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the rolled kataifi. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Pour the Syrup

    Once baked, remove kataifi from the oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup over it. Let it soak for about 30 minutes before serving.
