Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- We separate the kunafa strands with our fingers and loosen any clumps so they are no longer stuck together
- We place the required amount of strands in a wide tray and arrange them, then moisten them with water by spraying a little water over them so they are easier to roll
- We take a cylinder and wrap the kunafa strands tightly around it, then place it on a tray
- We repeat the process until the quantity is finished
- We leave the kunafa strands cylinders for about two hours, placing something heavy on top so they do not unravel
- In a pan over the heat, we warm the ghee until hot and pour it over the tray of kunafa strand cylinders
- We place the tray of kunafa fingers in the preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes, turning it from time to time until it is evenly browned on all sides.Timers: 25 min
- We strain the ghee into a bowl and let the kunafa fingers cool, then remove them from the cylinders, fill them with ashta, and pour the syrup over them
- Ashta can be replaced with custard, whipped cream, or any preferred filling
- We cut the foil into two pieces and wrap it around the handle of the wooden spoon, then pull it off and we have a cylinder to wrap the kunafa around
- When using this method, there is no need to place something heavy on top; we simply leave it for two hours
