Description

Qatayef is one of the most iconic desserts of the Ramadan season in the Levant. These yeasted pancakes are cooked on a flattop griddle or in a skillet until golden on one side with light air pockets throughout. They're then filled with cheese or spiced walnuts and raisins, folded into a crescent shape, fried until crispy and golden, then finally dipped in orange blossom syrup right before serving.
