PANCAKES
3 cups water
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon dried yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
FILLING
2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, peanuts, hazelnuts)
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup sugar
1 cup raisins
2 tablespoons orange blossom water
1 tablespoon cinnamon

1
Pulse the nuts in the mixer until roughly chopped. Mix with the rest of the ingredients for the filling.
2
Make the batter and preheat a frying pan, dip a cotton pad in oil and wipe the pan then pour the batter into small pancakes about 8 cm (3 inches) diameter. Four small pancakes fit in a medium sized frying pan. A pancake skillet is perfect for this if you have one. Repeat oiling the pan for each batch.
3
Cook the pancakes on one side only, remove from the pan when the top sets.
4
Place a teaspoonful of filling in the center of each pancake on the uncooked side (the side with lots of small holes).
5
Pinch the pancake edges around the filling forming a half circle.
6
Fry the filled pancakes, the qatayif should be crunchy but not hard so don't let the oil get too hot.
7
Dip the pancakes in any warm syrup before serving .

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
