Ingredients

  • About 12 small pancakes or Baghrir, please check the link above for Baghrir recipe
  • About 4 tbsp melted butter

Walnut filling

  • 1 cup crushed walnuts
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp orange blossom water

Cream filling

  • 1 cup Ashta, please check recipe link above

Sugar syrup

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp orange blossom water

Garnish

  • Crushed pistachios
  • Honey for serving if you don’t want to use sugar syrup

Instructions

  1. First, prepare the sugar syrup. Mix water, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat.

  2. Bring to a boil then let it continue boiling for about 10 minutes until it thickens a little bit.

  3. Remove from heat and add orange blossom water.

  4. Let cool completely (It’s preferable to make the syrup ahead of time).

  5. Mix the walnut filling ingredients and set aside.

  6. Place about 1 tablespoon or less of Ashta or walnut filling on the pancake in the center.

  7. Fold the pancake in half.

  8. Start pinching the sides together with your fingertips to seal.

  9. Place on a baking sheet.

  10. Brush with melted butter in both sides.

  11. Bake in 400°F preheated oven for about 10 minutes.

  12. Serve with the syrup (Atar). I personally prefer serving them with honey or maple syrup on top.
