Defrosting:
Allow Kataifi to thaw completely to room temperature in its packaging, before using - for a minimum of 4 hours.
Cooking Tips & Techniques:
- Use this pastry with butter, oil, oil sprays, or even egg whites.
- The strands are easy to separate, allowing for precise shaping.
- Vigorous shaping fluffs up the texture for a lighter result.
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.
