If you want to get your qatayef extra crispy, you can double fry them. Fry them for 90 seconds, then drain them from the oil for a few minutes before frying them again for 60 seconds more. That should give them a crispy texture that lasts longer. I hope you found the video useful, and if you did consider supporting the channel on *Patreon* . You'll get access to behind the scenes updates and can even get your name in the videos. www.patreon.com/MiddleEats

This recipe is super fun. I love that you gave us the variation for it. Raw, fried, glazed, nutty, creamy, both. Is it a pancake? Is it a dumpling? Or is it a beignet? It's all of that and more. I'll definitely want to make them when we can have family events again.

By sheer coincidence I had pancakes like those used in these a week ago! The similarities to injera (Ethiopian teff flour pancake used as a utensil/accompaniment for many Ethiopian dishes) was REALLY striking!
@MiddleEats
@MiddleEats 3 жыл бұрын
The texture of these is more fluffy and less skin like than injera. More like a crumpet if you've had those before. It is however quite similar in appearance. Maybe the teff flour is what makes the difference?

@andrewwinson5866 3 жыл бұрын
@@MiddleEats I’d say it depends a bit on the cook, and I know some use some (or even ALL) wheat flour in the batter, but I think some of the difference you note might be more due to a longer ferment time than these. They also tend to have a stronger, more “sour” taste. Anyways, wasn’t trying to draw a 1:1 comparison, just noting a really nifty parallel between the two food traditions that struck me!

A bit late to the party, but, and this is a Lebanese talking here, atayef are not only made during Ramadan. As a matter of fact, the Christian population in the Middle East also makes them on Saint Barbara's feast day, the 4th of December, which just happens to be this weekend, hence why I'm only now adding this comment. Amazing content! (even though I'm on the fence on that nut filling, as far as I know we use walnuts not hazelnuts)

Hi. I did a search for basbousa on your channel, and this came up with three other "almost" matches. I realize different countries use different names, but none were for the semolina cake soaked in syrup; neither filled nor unfilled. If you don't have one that I missed I'm hoping you can create one? Or two and include the stuffed version? I've only had packet type you miv then bake so I'm looking forward to trying something homemade. Thanks!

They nut ones will keep their crispiness for a day, as long as they aren't left in a puddle of syrup. The cream ones will be crisp for about 4-6 hours. You can make them last longer by doing a double fry, and that way the exterior will not soften at all. I just feel it's better to freshly fry them as they can sometimes get too crisp.

Hi @decemberclouds. So vanilla sugar is basically the same thing as vanilla powder, it's just a little weaker so you'd need to double the amount. This vanilla powder is sofra brand and you can get it at most arab/turkish grocery stores. It's usually near the spices rather than near the bakery section. Try checking your local turkish shop for it. Good luck!

Qatayef is the plural of Qatifah, which means a cloth with fringes or a plant with that name. The source is Qatafa which means to pluck or to cull. Some Arabic dialects pronounce the Q more like a hard A, so the Qatayef becomes Atayef.

Actually this is the perfect thickness. Any thicker and it absorbs oil when fried. If you want it extra crispy, you double fry it. Neither did I make this complicated, I gave the details so anyone who has never even heard of the dish can replicate it. And I do an extreme amount of research for every single recipe, show me a single channel who actually provides accurate measurements or weights for their dishes.
