Method

Assembly and Frying

  1. 1

    Stuff the Pancakes

    Take a pancake and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Fold the pancake in half and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

  2. 2

    Fry the Qatayef

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the stuffed pancakes until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).

  3. 3

    Serve

    Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and drizzle with honey or syrup if desired.
