Step 1
Prepare the sugar syrup and let it cool. Check out my blog post or my Simple Syrup recipe for details.
Step 2
In a medium sized pot, combine all the ingredients and mix well.
Step 3
Bring to boil on medium heat while whisking consistently. You do not want clumpy texture but rather a very smooth creamy texture. Once the cream thickens up very well, lower the heat and continue whisking for a few more mninutes until well thickened.
Step 4
Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a Pyrex dish, cover with plastic wrap and let it cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. You can also cool an extra 30 minutes in the fridge. Prepare a day ahead to save time.
Step 5
To prepare the pancakes, place all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk until well combined without any lumps. Or just blend them in a blender.
Step 6
Spray a non-stick skillet and wipe it down a little. Heat the skillet on medium heat, keeping the same heat through out.
Step 7
Add ¼ cup of the pancake batter and without touching allow the bubble on the top to dry. Then set on a pan or plate and cover with towel and continue doing the same thing until you finish the batter.
Step 8
Once the batter is done cooking, fill each pancake with a regular teaspoon full of ashta cream and seal the sides together to close the pancakes up. Repeat for the rest.
Step 9
Heat some oil in a deep pan over medium heat and fry the Atayef until golden brown, then transfer to dip the pancakes into the sugar syrup briefly. Transfer to a plate. Repeat for the rest.
Step 10
Garnish with ground pistachios and allow to cool before eating.
