Homemade Turkish Kunefe #shorts #youtubeshorts

RECIPE
Syrup:
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 slice of lemon

Kunefe:
2 cups shredded raw kadayif dough
100g butter
1 tablespoon extra butter to brush the pans
200g unsalted melting cheese (mozzarella is ok)
1 tablespoon ground pistachios for topping

Instructions:

Start with preparing the syrup. Pour water, sugar and a slice of lemon in a pot. Bring it to boil.

Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes until it gets a little thicker. Let it cool.
Melt butter, bring it to room temperature and coat kadayif noodles with butter very well.
Brush the bottom of two 9-inch pans with melted butter.
Share the buttered kadayif noodles in the pans evenly.
Toss over shredded unsalted cheese evenly.

Cover the cheese with the remaining kadayif noodles and press on them with your hand.
Over the lowest heat on the stove, cook it until the bottom is golden. Carefully place one of the extra pans on it and flip the dessert into that extra pan. Now golden side is on the top. Cook the other side until golden as well.
Repeat this for the second portion.
Pour cooled syrup over them as soon as you remove them from the stove..
Let them absorb the syrup and serve immediately while it’s still hot with ground pistachios on the top.
