2
KEEP ASIDE 1/4 cup of water from the 3 cups you have and the bicarbonate of soda
-
3
While all dry ingredients are mixing together, slowly pour in the remaining of your water.
-

When well mixed, set aside for 2 hours.
-

After being set aside, mix in a separate bowl the bicarbonate soda and the 1/4 water.

Then mix gently in with the batter.

Get a flat surfaced nonstick pan to a medium heat (recommend not using a gas stove).

When pouring the batter onto the hot pan, remember to keep your hand as steady as possible.

-
11
Fry until a golden colour

REMEMBER!

13
Only fry one side.
-

When you have fried them, lay them out on a towel or cloth and pack them on top on each other.

15
( uncooked side against uncooked soft) this keeps the moisture in.

Raisons, cocoa, sugar ect.

After the katyif has cooled down, take a teaspoon of the filling and place it in the center of the katayif and fold in half, so it creates a half-moon shape.

Now we take all our but filled katayif and place it in the oven at 180A reheated.

Each katayif should have a block of butter on it and the tray should be buttered as well.
