Qatayef or Katayef (Template:Lang-ar, [qā'ṭā:īf] ) is a Levantine dessert commonly served during the month of Ramadan, a sort of sweet dumpling filled with cream or nuts.
Etymology
The Arabic word Qatayef (Template:Lang-ar) is derived from the Arabic verb Template:Lang-ar, meaning to pick up.[1]
Origin
Qatayef is of Fatimid origin.[2] Some believe that Qatayef are the creation of the Fatimid Dynasty,however, their history dates back to the Abbasid Caliphate, 566-653 CE.[3][4] Qatayef was mentioned in a tenth century Arabic cookbook dates back to the Abbasid Caliphate by Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq called Kitab al-Ṭabīḫ (Template:Lang-ar, The Book of Dishes).[5] The book was later translated by Nawal Nasrallah, and named it (Annals of the Caliphs' Kitchens).[6] Qatayef was traditionally prepared by street vendors as well as households in the Levant and Egypt. It is usually prepared using Akkawi cheese as a filling.[7][8]
Preparation
Qatayef is the general name of the dessert as a whole, but more specifically, the batter. The result of the batter being poured onto a round hot plate appears similar to pancakes, except only one side is cooked, then folded. The pastry is filled with either unsalted cheese or a mixture of any of hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, raisins, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. It is then deep-fried or, less commonly, baked and served with a hot syrup or sometimes honey.[9][10]
