2 tablespoons fine semolina

Method:

We soak the cheese in water and change the water every hour until the salt is removed and the cheese tastes mild.

Drain the cheese in a sieve to remove the water, then place it in a pot with the milk, semolina, orange blossom water, and rose water until the filling becomes firm.

Place the cheese filling between the two qatayef pancakes, then arrange them on a baking tray and bake at 180°C for about 12 minutes, or until golden and the cheese melts.

Pour the syrup or honey over them while they are still hot.
