I grew up in a Syrian-American household, but was introduced to these delicious treats by a Palestinian friend. Oh my gosh, they are to die for! Your mom's classical take on middle eastern cooking is an invaluable resource. She is fabulous. Thank you, too, for often offering healthier alternatives and modern twists to your recipes. Your channel is awesome. Shoo-krahn, habibti!
Thank you for your sweet message made our day habibtee, hope you subscribe and join our family! :D
Thank you Habeebti, it is people like you that keep us going.
An easy and practical katayef recipe. Definitely worth trying. The mom's suggestion of brushing the katayef with melted butter and baking in the oven, rather than frying in oil, lends to a much lighter and flavorful pancake. However allow me to clear what appeared to me to be a confusion between rose water (Maward) and orange blossom water (Mazahr). The difference in taste, smell, and culinary uses between the two is significant. What the lady seemed to be using here is mazahr which is orange blossom water. A lot of people though use rose water in katayef and some use both.
- Orange Blossom Water (mazahr - Ma means water and zahr means flowers ) is made by distilling the petals of the flowers of Bitter Oranges also known as Valencia oranges. In Arabic this kind of orange is called Bousfayr or Khashkhash or Naranj.
- Rose Water (maward - ward means roses) is made by distilling petals of roses (as opposed to steeping the petals, a method which produces rose water of a totally different quality). The best and most authentic must be made from freshly picked roses of a variety which grows as a shrub with pink flowers and a very pronounced smell called Rosa Damascena or Damask Rose (ward joury in arabic).
Thanks for clarifying for our viewers! Indeed you can use one or the other, depending on you flavor preference. =)
4 years later,, Finally got to see a fun way on how you do ATAYEF thank u Blanche
Haha better late than never! Enjoy!
I love your channel and your personalities. You remind of the wonderful friends I met in Lebanon. I love the Arab world so unknown in my country Norway
Welcome to our online family! =)
Love this mother daughter combo! Wonderful recipes, keeps me thinking of my mother and Sotto.
Queso blanco 😮😮😮 thank you for the recipe. I will have to give it a try. I’ve been looking for a recipe for my Syrian friends
Katayef is so delicious especially to eat in Ramadan. Mashallah you and your mom are very good cooks. Thank you both
In Jerusalem these are made by the Arabs and contain a chestnut filling. I recall them being in the marketplace around Ramadan, although i might be confusing the holidays
Yum, never had them with chestnut!
I Love middle eastern pancakes.♥️😘😍
Yummy
You two are amazing . I’m just getting addicted to middle Eastern food since watching your channel
Thank you! ;)
I learned how to make these using cherry pie filling and cheesecake filling. Super yummy no matter what you put in them.
Yum what a great idea!
I am enjoying you cooking with mama 💕
Thanks she will be in my next new video this Saturday =)
Thank you for bringing me back my time in Beirut. God bless you all.

Your so lucky you and your Mom are cooking together...LOVE IT...... (pressure this moments) Those Kateyef pancakes look so yuuuummmmyy...... I'll be right over with my cup of coffee to try them....LOL....
Awww Thanks Cheryl, you tell me what filling you like and I will get it ready! :D

Back at you hon ;)
I watch all of your clips , eventhough i am not into cooking.
Love your recipes and very informative too! Would love it if the vernacular words will be flashed in the screen. 🙏
Will do thank you! ;)
It looks yummyy. I prefer the cheese over walnuts.
We have Oxaca brand Mexican cheese here in Arizona and it makes mine extra yummy.
I prefer cheese too, and yes Mexican cheese is the best with this! ;)
As Salamualikum Thank you, Mother and Daughter explained well about the recipe. I will try it and this sweet is not having much sugar; according to the desire we can add the sugar syrup nice!!
always love watching the amazing stuff on your channel. nothing beats authentic recipes 😁
I love y’all personality😄💕.. love your bubbly fun side❤️
Thanks Blanche and Vera for the lovely katayef. They look perfect and delicious. Please can you tell me the quantity of yeast. It was not mentioned in the recipe. Greatly appreciative.
20 grams of yeast-- enjoy!
I Will try to make middle eastern pancakes.😄😆😘😍
They are worth the effort!
PLEASE put this recipe in YOUR COOKBOOK !!!!
Please please.
You and your mom, Vera are so beautiful ! ( and you both match !)
Love and blessings
It's in there for sure just for you! ;) Thank you!

Just stumbled upon your channel...immediately subbed. Love your recipes, love your mum and your whole show! Binge watching for the past hour now. Looking forward to more and all the very best for your channel! 💐💐💐
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel, appreciate your feedback :)
lovely recipe as usual. will do this tomorrow.
Awesome!! This looks yummy. I love your channel and your family
Oh I so very much katayef lover
Thanks for this girl!!! It’s Ramadan time need this lol
Ramadan Mubarak girl, yes this recipe is a must this time of year, enjoy! ;)
Looks delicious delicious it’s my favourite dessert I make with ashta
Can you make kounefe?
Yes here is our kunafe recipe: ruclips.net/video/k5X_tYAJFSo/видео.html
@@blanchetv thank you
Wow very delicious.
How much yeast did you add to this recipe. When you bake them in the oven at 375 / 400 degrees do you turn them over to get crunchy on both sides. I can’t wait to try them.
We used 1 tsp of yeast. Generally we do not flip them over, but you can if you like them on the crispy side. Enjoy the recipe! =)
LOVE the video Thank you
I just love you both! Great video 🎉
I've never worked with yeast. I am going to purchase a wisk tomorrow.....my very first wisk.
The time has come!! See how easy it is?
Looks delicious!
Nice ❤️
Yum
So 'soshara' means yolo in arabic ?
Pretty much LOL
have you got kuneffa tarriff ?
Hi from Palestine.✌✌🇵🇸🇵🇸✌✌
Marhaba!
I’m sorry but what is the first ingredient she mention?? Sim... what? Please answer I really want to make this!
Fine semolina flour ;)
We have something very similar to that in Turkey and we call it "Taş Kadayıf" which is literally translated as "Stony Katayef" (It is not as hard as stone, no! :)). I'll make mom watch your video. We will use your recipe I think. Thanks.
LOL yes we do not want it to be hard like stone. Interesting translation though, wonder if that is the original meaning. Yes hope you try this recipe--it's easy, and it works! ;)
Oh man yum yum..thanks a lot
I love your channel 💚💚
Thank you!
Yum! I am a Croatian who just married a Palestinian and I want to make Kateyef - shukran for this video :) Question about Nabulsi cheese which we always have at home - what do I need to do to it to prep it ? or just crumble and add to the pancake? You mention that the queso blanco was left overnight !?! Many thanks for your help!
Hi Ivana welcome to the family haha! Yes queso fresco works great, and I do soak it overnight in water to get the salt out. Then I put it in the food processor until it is the consistency of cottage cheese so that it melts evenly. Hope that helps!
Many many thanks!!! :)
Awesome, yislamu edeekum.
Question, any alternatives to Quesú Blanco? What is it exactly? Is it like curd cheese?
Ricotta cheese works great! ;) Queso blanco is almost like mozzarella but not as stretchy.
Ricotta cheese?? Would it have the same effect?
After stuffing them we deep fry them and they are more delicious.
I am sure! =)
Would you ever use dried fruit with the nuts? It looks so good.
You probably could, but it might be too sweet if you add syrup to it.
Yum my favorite 😋 but the one I buy from a bakery the feeling is some kind of a creamy goodness not Queso Fresco 😉
Yes that is a different kind of katayef called asafiri, which uses a creamy ehsta filling :D
Can they be made with clotted cream (ishta)? If yes can you show us how on one episode? Thank you!!!!
Yes they can be made with ishta, that needs a whole new episode, maybe I will make ishta and it's different uses :)
CAN I FREEZE THEM? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR RECEPIES!!!!
Never tried to freeze them but I suppose you can before you put syrup on them :)
blanchetv yes, you can :)
ruth stagnitta Freeze them raw, just after you finish to fill them.
Baking soda activates with acid , I don't see how in this batter it activates as there is no acid ?Baking powder is maybe what you mean?
No baking soda will create bubbles it just needs moisture to activate. Look how honeycomb/cinder toffee/hokey pokey is made: just sugar, water & baking soda
I was also wondering but I tried and it worked! I am guessing the yeast fermentation creates some acidity
Very nice recipe (Y) subscribed your channel
Thank you dear, I subbed back-love Indian food!
blanchetv - Thankyou dear, much love :)
can you show us the cheese, which kind did you use.
Salam, so the White Cheese could be the classic queso prensado? like the square white one?
Yes you can use that!
thank you so much, I never thought you would reply so fast. :) I would make it for this ramadan thanks ... Im a big fan from Panama
what is the temperature of oven when you baked them please and thank you blanch
400 degrees for about 10 minutes or so. :)
thank you blanch and MOMA VERA YOU GUYS MAKE A GREAT TEAM
Gemaatvideo
So what’s the exact recipe ?
My cheese melted and came out of the katayef...any idea what went wrong??
Too much cheese. We use a very small amount of cheese in each one--a scant tablespoon.
where are you from?
oh that's cool, it's vegan friendly
Cool screen name, I wish all invaders were pancakes! :D
Lol :D thank s
Your make up is soooooooooooo PERFECT/ON THE POINTin your videos.( I have seen so many.) why donot you make a beauty channel too.(;
Will consider that if there is enough interest dear--thank you! ;)
Substitute of semolina???
Farina
OMG 😮 😋😍✅👍
why does mine stick to the pan
Make sure your pan is well heated before pouring the batter on it. Pouring batter on a pan not heated enough will cause it to stick. The heat shouldn't be too high either.
Ooh, thanks am going to try again
🥰🙏
cannot use ricotta cheese just wondering ?
Yes you most certainly can, but it won't have that melted texture. ;)
ohh yea will use melty cheese only thank you
Where in Palestine are you from.
Bethlehem. ;)
شكرًا الكم تعرفو الدنيا على اكلنا الزاكي خليهم يشو فونا
thats how ilike to eat it sneak peak and stuff mine and eat it raw lol .i dont like it cookedand no syrup
Oh wow you eat it raw? That is hilarious! :D
blanchetv uii
I love the look of this but I don't eat wheat, it will be a challenge to this recipe gluten free, but I am going to rool up my sleeves and figure it out. We are also vegan, hence why I watched you falafel recipe and I want to do the cheese ones and sort out the cheese as well. There are so many options and I love this dessert. I have the basics and I will make it a mission=)
Thanks for watching! Yes you can try gluten free flour instead, I would imagine you should double the baking soda, and try out one pancake to see what happens. If it doesn't form bubbles thin it out with more water. Good luck! Hope this recipe works for you!
