Total time: 20 min
Yield: 3
Ingredients: 3 heaped cups kataifi dough, defrosted according to package directions.; For the sugar syrup-; ½ cup Sugar; ¼ cup water; 1 teaspoon cardamom seed powder; A pinch of saffron threads; A pinch of salt; 1 teaspoon ghee plus some to grease the baking tray lightly; Slivered almonds and pistachios for topping

Combine all the ingredients listed under sugar syrup on medium heat. Stir just until the sugar is dissolved and remove from heat. Let the syrup cool.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.In a zip lock bag or a bowl, gently combine the 3 cups of kataifi with the one teaspoon ghee to coat the strands of dough with ghee. The dough needs to be covered if you are not using it right away

Arrange the dough in circles and bake for 10 minutes or until the dough is cooked. Baking at this low temperature assures that it will retain its color.

Remove the baked circles on to a wire rack placed over a tray. Drizzle the cooled sugar syrup all over the baked sutarfeni making sure you cover it all over and immediately top with the slivered nuts.

Store the Sutarfeni in between sheets of parchment paper, in a covered container, so it stays soft and luscious!
