Qatayef Asafiri with Ashta

Ingredients

If you ask any Middle Eastern person what dessert to his/her mind when he/she hear the word Ramadan , the answer is Qatayef.

Qatayef is like mini pancakes filled with all sorts of goodies.

Directions

1. In a big bowl, combine all the dry ingredients well
2. Add water and mix well until everything is well incorporated, cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. In a skillet set over medium heat, pour 2 tablespoon batter.
4. Cook until the batter has no visible wet spots ( you will notice bubbles forming on the surface. Don’t flip).
5. Complete the batter and cover the cooked Qatayef so it will not get dry.
6. Prepare the Ashta as direction in the above link
7. Scoop about a teaspoon of the Ashta filling in the middle of the Qatayef.
8. Pinch the edges together, sealing thin two-third of the way. Dip the open side into ground pistachios.

10. Enjoy it with a drizzle of honey or simple syrup.
