Dumpling Stuffed With Nuts and Raisins (Qatayif) is a popular dessert in many Middle Eastern countries, especially during Ramadan. These dumplings are made by filling a thin layer of batter with a mixture of mixed nuts, shredded coconut, raisins, orange blossom water, and cinnamon. The batter is then cooked on a skillet until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, creating a delicious sweet treat that is perfect for any occasion. These dumplings are often served with powdered sugar and rose water syrup for added sweetness and flavor.

Instructions

1.In a mixing bowl, combine the water, flour, yeast, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until you get a smooth batter.
2.Cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit for 30 minutes to rest.
3.While the batter is resting, make the filling. In a separate bowl, combine the mixed nuts, shredded coconut, sugar, raisins, orange blossom water, and cinnamon. Mix well.
4.To make the dumplings, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to dry.
5.Flip the dumpling over and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side.
6.Remove the dumpling from the skillet and place it on a plate. Add a spoonful of the filling to one half of the dumpling, then fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.
7.Repeat with the remaining batter and filling.
8.Serve the dumplings warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar.
