Qatayef Ramadan Recipe (English)

Qatayef is a beloved dessert traditionally enjoyed during the holy month of Ramadan. These delicious treats can be stuffed with a variety of fillings, including cheese, mixed nuts, cream (Qishta), or dried fruits. In this recipe, I'm excited to share two of my favorite fillings: cheese and coconut-walnut. Qatayef can be baked or fried to perfection and finished with a dip in fragrant orange blossom syrup.
