Kadayif Recipe

Kadayif Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Syrup

   In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

2. 2

   Prepare the Kadayif

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large bowl, toss the shredded wheat with melted butter until well coated.

3. 3

   Assemble the Kadayif

   Spread half of the buttered shredded wheat into a greased baking dish. Evenly distribute the chopped walnuts over the top. Then, layer the remaining shredded wheat on top, pressing down gently.

4. 4

   Bake the Kadayif

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

5. 5

   Add the Syrup

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