Method

1. Prepare a bowl and add the flour, salt, baking powder and yeast, then add the warm water
2. Mix the qatayef batter ingredients well until you get a flexible, smooth batter
3. Cover the qatayef batter well, wrap the bowl with kitchen plastic and a piece of cloth, place it in a warm spot and leave it aside to ferment and rest for a full hour; when the batter is ready for cooking after fermentation, heat the nonstick pan well for about five minutes
4. Put two tablespoons of batter into the pan, and when bubbles appear on the surface of the batter, that means it has fermented well and is ready
5. Remove the qatayef circles from the pan and cover them immediately so they don’t dry out
6. Fill the qatayef with ashta and garnish with ground pistachios or a lemon blossom substitute
