1
Prepare the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Remove from heat and let cool.
2
Prepare the Kadayif
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large bowl, mix the shredded wheat with melted butter until evenly coated.
3
Assemble the Kadayif
Spread half of the shredded wheat mixture into a greased baking dish. Evenly distribute the chopped walnuts over the top. Then, cover with the remaining shredded wheat mixture.
4
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
5
Add the Syrup
Once baked, remove from the oven and pour the cooled syrup evenly over the hot kadayif. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes before serving.
