ATAYEF (QATAIEYF) RECIPE !!! STUFFED CUSTARD PANCAKES

[MzLuluLusciouS]

thank you didi now im gonna go break my diet... this looks wonderfully delicious

[dedemed]

@MzLuluLusciouS it will be worth it :)

[AsmaaFaris]

When mom makes them with the custard, she makes the pancakes half the usual size, so they're like small delicious bites :) Thanks for the recipe though, will be using it soon!

[dedemed]

@AsmaaFaris there are always variations, they all taste great :)

[galub101]

hey...i was wondering if i can use heavy wiping cream for the crusted instead oh heavy cream is it the same thing

[dedemed]

@galub101 yes it would be the same thing and it will work great :)

[ehjail]

I thought that atayef were to be fried !! We stuff with cheese or nuts and then deep fry them

[dedemed]

@ehjail you can definitely fry these as well and stuff them with cheese, just close up the pancake entirely and fry it then soak it with syrup :)

[MsGino888]

I've tried it yesterday and it was amazing .. Thanks for the great recipe

[dedemed]

@MsGino888 thanks so much, I appreciate your support :)

[tchaikovsky1979]

Salam Dedemed

I am Moroccan and love Moroccan food and sweet things. It's funny to see some resembles in things we make. I have never heard of this recipe. It really looks YUMMY!!!

so am gonna surprise my family on eed al fitr with this incha Allah ! Thank you!

[dedemed]

@tchaikovsky1979 that's wonderful, I'm so glad you like it. Did you make it yet?

[tchaikovsky1979]

@dedemed

I did not. We received the very sad news from Morocco that my grandma died so I lost my will to do anything. But I will remember yourt recipe. many thanx

[dedemed]

@tchaikovsky1979 I am so sorry to hear that, but try cooking, it will take your mind off things and I'm sure your grandmother would be happy to know you were cooking.

[hmlys81]

Hi Dede! I love your recipes.I tried to make the custard filling for the first time and it is still lumpy and not as thick as yours looks. Any suggestions? I followed your recipe as best I could. Thanks!

[dedemed]

@hmlys81 well the written recipe is on my site. If it's not as thick, next time try adding more cornstarch and bread, that will thicken it up :)

[thebestsims3]

i love qataieyf!

[ligirl95]

is it bad if i used milk with 3,5% fat??

[dedemed]

@ligirl95 yes it will work ;)

[talorswift2010]

excellent recipe. Thank you.

[dedemed]

@talorswift2010 thank you :)



[7anoony]

hey dede!

I was just wondering if it would be okay to use only regular flour and no whole wheat flour? I only have quick rise yeast left (I have ALOT, so i really want to use it up) can I use that instead of regular yeast?

[dedemed]

@7anoony you can definitely give it a try and see how it works out with the whole wheat self rising flour. let me know how it works out. my only concern is that baking powder makes the pancake more cake like and maybe it will break when you try to fold it over.

[Emazinng]

just kidding i thought this was the filling!! :))

[dedemed]

@Emazinng hope you like the recipe :)

[noorgraphics]

@dedemed I had a couple of questions for you, first if I decided to go with the sweet cheese recipe filling that I had found on the internet to make, can I deep fry it? Do the bakeries usually fry them or leave them as you did them? Last question, what kind of cream do you use or should I use, half and half or whipping cream? If I understand correctly you used whole milk, 2% milk, cream and rosewater, orange blossom, water for the corn starch right? Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks a bunch! :)

[dedemed]

@noorgraphics the written recipe is on my site, check it out. Yes you can close the pancake all the way around and deep fry it as well.

[nayomi17]

My batter was a little thick so I added more milk. Is that fine and should I adjust anything else?

[dedemed]

@nayomi17 that's fine, you can always add a little milk or water to thin it out :)

[bintlooda]

woooow so simple recipie nothing is complecated looooooove the way u do it . sure will try them next ramadam .. thank u

[dedemed]

@bintlooda wonderful, it is so worth it and will impress your friends :)

[Besaha1]

I tried this recipie again and instead i made it without bread. NEVER DO IT WITHOUT BREAD!!! the bread adds an extra creamieness .

[dedemed]

@Besaha1 I agree, the recipe is perfect the way I show it :)

[dedemed]

@virusboss93 Lol, i think everyone does :)

[MissShaberta]

Hi dede,

i just wanna ask you, how much is a cup milk or heay cream in liter?

how much did you put in liter?

[dedemed]

@MissShaberta Just go on Google and look up a metric measurement converter and it will convert all of the measurements for you :)

[ANGELICVSBELLVM]

Thank you for posting this. I never knew how to spell this in English lol so It was so hard to find this recipe. Thank you for posting. I am a big fan!

[dedemed]

@ANGELICVSBELLVM no problem, now you know how to spell it and make it, check out my site for other easy Mediterranean recipes :)

[mjgremlin]

So so happy I found this recipe!!! I used to go to a restaurant to eat these pancakes but now since I found a good recipe, you can bet on it, I will cook them myself!!! Thanks!

[dedemed]

@mjgremlin You are so welcome, the written recipe is on my site :)

[mocha7878]

Very good vido, will def try to make Atayef or Qatayef (قطايف).

Thanks for sharing :)

[dedemed]

@mocha7878 you are so welcome, i am glad that you like the recipe, check out my site :)

[dedemed]

@mocha7878 you are so welcome, the written recipe is on my site :)

[1quirarte]

They look amazing

[east02west]

I am wondering now if these are the precursors to cannolis, hhhmmm...

That being the case, I would assume the pancake would be fried first and then filled with the cream.

[dedemed]

@east02west yes for cannolies, it's actually a dough that you use and deep fry it before filling. Similar concept, give my recipe a try, you will love it. You can also, deep fry these pancakes but make sure you close up the pocket all the way first and then deep fry :)

[Besaha1]

i'm addicted to these, and every one loves them especially for breakfast. thanx

[dedemed]

@Besaha1 they are very addicting and good :)

[mucharuchaCZ]

@Besaha1 yes yes my favorite breakfast!

[Besaha1]

Thank you soo much for the recipe, I love them. One question, how come your syrup does not crystalize? Thanks!!

[dedemed]

@Besaha1 well it does not crystallize b/c you use water in the recipe, not just sugar and lemon. the syrup video is on my site as well :)

[Naravak]

you could still deep fry them if they're filled with custard...they sell them here in pastry stores with both walnut and ashta...and they're both deep fried..there's actually two types of atayef ashta...one is the deep fried one and the other is called atayef asafiry where you don't fry it and leave the pancake semi-open :) nontheless, good instructions :)

[dedemed]

@Naravak thanks, that's good to know, let's try to stay away from frying, it's not so healthy :)

[lunnawalid]

how much of corn starch do you use for the custard? thank you

[dedemed]

@lunnawalid the written recipe is on my site :)

[marlibelulas]

thank you!!! :0)

[muslima004]

just wanted to know whether or not this custard cream stuffing is the same as the one used for knafeh bil ashta (knafeh with cream)?

thanks in advance X)

[dedemed]

correct, it is the same :)

[popingirlZ]

thankyou for the recipes!

i use most of your recipes!

keep up the good work!

[dedemed]

well the written recipe is on my site so you can find it there along with many other recipes all written out and you can easily print or email them as well :)

[Ezldor]

'' they look like swiss cheese ... but its not ''

i laughed so much at this sentence xD

[dedemed]

I try to throw a little comedy in every now and then :)

[xXmilkieXx]

I laughed at that too!

[inqisit0r]

Ive seen a version of this where clotted cream is substituted for the custard.

[dedemed]

you can use any cream for filling :)

[MEGAMANMETHOD]

shes cute

[maysoonj]

Hi Dede, where are you from? I'm Palestinian and I've never seen the Katayif done this way, I'm used to having them completely closed, and either put in the oven or fried. But hey everybody has their own way. I'm gonna try using your recipe for the pancake though

[dedemed]

Give it a try, I'm sure you'll like it.  My parents are from Lebanon and this is how we make it there, it is light and easy to make :)

[Ezldor]

well , i am from Palestinian too and we leave some part of it open when we fill it with '' custard '' and we dont put them in the oven , but if u fill it with nuts '' like jooz '' we close them and fry or in the oven

[Pharaoh714]

Mmmm Atayef, Cant wait till my mom makes some!

[miro74eg]

Thanks for the recipe I'm gonna try it

[flyingcolours3]

thank you dede.i made this recipe and everyone liked in the family and they were amazed that i can do stuff like these.thank you so much

[marivana27]

Hi Dede when i made the qatayef pancakes (using your recipe ofcourse), they had holes in them, can you tell how to avoid that because i would like to fry them once they are stuffed.

Will appreciate a responce.

[dedemed]

Hello, well they should have bubbling holes on top, like in the video, if the holes are all the way through the pancake and not just on top then you need to make the batter a bit thicker, maybe add 2 tbs of flour and then pour the batter thicker in the pan, do not thin it out. THis should correct the problem.

[hairyfrankfurt]

when you deep-fry it, do you need a batter for it? or just close up the pancake and it works well enough?

[dedemed]

All you have to do it close it up tight and fry it :)

[garbodayday]

Thanks for showing us how to make authentic atayef. They decorate it with a red jam like substance. Do you happen to know what it is ?

[dedemed]

yes, it is actually sweetened pickles orange peel, you can buy it at MIddle Eastern grocery stores :) or just cut up some maraschino cherries :)

[isra1986]

I have never tried the custard. We make them with the nuts or cheese, close them up all the way and fried. I will have to try this though! It looks so good!

[dedemed]

yes, please try it, it's less calories and it tastes great and looks pretty too :) Although when I feel sinful I have a fried one :)

[zobo58]

Great recipe, but I didn't see the listing on your web site in order to get the proportions of ingredients...can you assist me in locating the measurements??

[dedemed]

it will be up by the end if today :)

[Diva63113]

That looks yummy! Just the look of the finshed dessert had my mouth watering. Question if you don't have any of the flavored waters, could you use something like Almond or Vanilla extract?

[dedemed]

Yes you cans use other flavoring if you'd like, it's all about experimenting and making things sounds great :)

[royalxsweetie]

oh wow, i've never seen atayef like this. thanks dede! :)

[inari00000]

Im gonna try these

[dedemed]

thank you everyone for the nice comments :)

[letmegeton09]

Thank you for all the videos..Trust me I am going to need these in time due. At any rate: you could add cherries on the open end, they look cute. We call them asafeer (why? I have no clue). In regards to deep frying the atayef, to save on calories, you could bake them in theoven fr a little bit with a little (samneh-arabic butter) on each piece, then put the ater (simple sugar), great also. Best!

[dedemed]

thanks for the tips, sounds great :)

[bahebbak]

Very nice, Shokran.

[usafireandrescue]

Wow... this looks great! Nice recipe!

[sazara123]

Will give this version a try this weekend. Thanks for this version.

[dedemed]

Wonderful!

[ouafa2007]

Atayef are really delicious !

[mehndi25]

looks delicious

[Esunshine71]

yum yum 3ashet edek.

i think we can fill them with 8eshta and close them up and then fry them in a little oil (not deep fry) so they just get crispy from outside and then dep them in the

8ater!!

[Airave]

Oh wow.... my girls will Love this!

Never came across this before.

This is really Amazing!

Pretty Pancakes and great variations!

[x1MissWorld1x]

I loooove Atayef :) its one of my favorite Ramadan deserts! Its great learning how to make the pancakes on your own.. I usually buy them ready but I'm sure making them @ home would taste a gazillion times better. Thanks Dede for a wonderful recipe :D you are awesome!

[syrianprince23]

can you make lebanese stuffed pancakes stuffed with nuts

[digupstuff]

YUM! I remember those! My ex husband made those stuffed with crushed walnuts that were fried in butter and cinnamon sugar. Then he topped them with that sweet syrup. :P YUM!!!

[cookielicious000]

[armolana]

[inari00000]
