1-Mix all the ingredient and let it rest about 40 minutes.

2- cook about 2 tablespoon of the dough mixture in a hot pan until it bubble (just cook one side).

Hello Meedo,

Looks great. I will visit your blog soon. Is this similar to ketayef? There's a Lebanese restaurant here that sells ketayef and I love it. It kinda looks similar.

Thanks.

I would LOVE to try to make these!! My mother-in-law (may she rest in peace) was from Syria and taught me how to cook SO many things we just don't generally learn here in the states!! Tell me please, where can I find this Iraqi Cream?? Believe it or not, I can even make "Mano Selwah" that even surprised her!! I have 2 daughters who are very happy to be cooking Syrian/Arabic foods too!!

I LOVE YOUR SITE!!
THANK YOU!!
