Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Add vanilla extract and cinnamon, stir well, and set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Kadayif

    Melt the unsalted butter in a small pan. Once melted, pour it over the kadayif dough, mixing well to ensure it is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take half of the kadayif dough and spread it evenly in a greased baking dish, pressing it down firmly. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the dough. Add the remaining kadayif on top, pressing down again.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake the assembled kadayif in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Add the Syrup

    Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup over the hot kadayif. Allow it to soak for at least 30 minutes before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut into squares or diamond shapes and serve warm or at room temperature.
