Dervish Dessert…

While at a Sufi iftar for Ramadan in Beirut, I was served this delicious dessert prepared by the dervishes. Atayef (kataif or قطايف) are thin stuffed pancakes filled with either a cheese or nut filling (or both). The yummy atayef above were filled with walnuts–and then drizzled with syrup. If you want to try to make atayef at home, here is a recipe and video to help you along–sahtein (bon appétit)!
