Birds nest knafeh
Kunafa nests are a traditional Kunafa recipe so popular throughout the Middle East.,
- 1 lb Kataifi- I've used half
- 1 ½ c of unsalted butter melted
- Nuts for filling.
- 1 ½ c of thick simple syrup 2c sugar+ 1 c water+ lemon juice and a dash of vanilla. Leave it to cool completely
Gently pull a small punch of kunafa and cover the rest so it will not get dry.
Brush the kunafa with melted butter then roll around one,two or even three fingers depending on the desired size.
Now fill your nests with your favorite nuts.
Until all are done.
Bake until golden brown then drizzle while hot with syrup.
let it cool a little before serving.
