Defrosting:
Allow Kataifi to thaw completely to room temperature in its packaging, before using - for a minimum of 4 hours.
Kataifi Pastry Preparation:
The Kataifi will be in a tight bundle when removed from the packet.
Open out the bundle and begin separating the strands to “fluff up” and loosen.
Pull away and rip handfuls of pastry as required.
