Atayef Dough

Step 1

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl

Step 2

Mix the wet ingredients then gradually combine them with the dry ingredients. Give everything a good whisk until well combined or mix it in blender.

Step 3

Cover with a towel, and let the mixture sit in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a griddle on medium heat, then pour the batter from a jug or using a spoon to create little circles (for small Atayef pour 1 tablespoon of batter, for medium sized ones add 2 tablespoons, and ¼ cup for the large ones).
