• Put all your ingredients in the blender except baking soda, blend until everything is very well combined.
• Rest the batter for 5-10 minutes and then add baking soda and mix again.
• In a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, pour two tablespoons of the batter. Cook Qatayef on one side only (don't flip them)
• Cook until the batter has no wet spots and you see bubbles forming on top.
• Repeat until you finish the batter, and cover cooked Qatayef with a kitchen towel so they don't get dry.

Assemble the Qatayef

Qatayef Asafiri:

• Fold the pancake ⅔ of the way by pressing it on the sides, and leave out an opening at the opposite end.
• Fill the opening with ashta, table cream, or Nutella. Dip the filling side with crushed pistachios

Cheese Qatayef:

• Scoop about one teaspoon of cheese onto one-half of the pancake. Fold over and pinch the sides together until it's sealed.
• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat, drop the qatayef in oil, and fry until they are lightly golden.
