Instructions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt, then add the water and milk to make a runny batter.
- Let it rest for 20 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface.
- Cook a ladle of batter in a non-stick pan, without flipping, until the top is dry and pitted with holes.
- Remove the pancakes without browning them, then let them cool.
- Mix the walnuts, almonds, sugar and cinnamon, then fill each pancake and fold it into a half-moon.
- Heat the syrup for 5 minutes and serve the katayef warm, either fried or plain, with the syrup.
