Pour in a pan and cook till the top is dried completely. 

Keep the cooked qatayef covered with a cloth.

Cheese Qatayef

Fill the qatayef with 1/2 square kiri cheese. Seal the edges by pressing them.

Deep fry in oil. Can be air-fried or baked in the oven.

Drizzle with maple syrup or honey or sugar syrup and garnish with ground pistachios and enjoy.

I prefer Maple syrup, its not only healthy but tastier as well.

Usually qatayefs are deep fried and dipped in qatr ( arabic sugar syrup) and taken out like jilebis.

You can fill them with nuts and dry fruits or qeshta (thick cream).

Honey Cream Qatayef

Fill Qatayef with honey cream. 

(Or mix thick cream with honey )

Seal half the edge by pressing leaving some cream visible at 1 end. Dip in ground pistachios and drizzle with honey on top.
