OZALP FRESH KADAYIF 500gr

Fresh Kadayif (Tel Kadayif / Shredded Phyllo Pastry Dough)

Kadayif pastry can be used to make a sweet crispy Turkish and Middle Eastern desserts like ‘Tel Kadayif’ and ‘Kunefe’. 

Simply separate the shredded strings of pastry into a buttered pan. You can add layers of Pistachios, Hazelnuts or Walnuts to the middle to give an extra delicious texture. Top with some more melted butter. Bake in the oven until a golden-brown colour is achieved (20-35 mins). Allow to cool. 

You can also shape the Kadayif into small balls or cylindrical shapes, with or without fillings, and cook according to the same method described above. 

Prepare the syrup by adding 2 cups of sugar, 3 cups of water and a touch of lemon juice to a pan and bringing it to a boil. Carefully pour the boiling syrup onto the cold Kadayif (for better absorption). Top with more crushed nuts and serve hot or cold alone or with ice cream or Turkish tea.
