Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cream of wheat
  • 3 cups lukewarm water
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  • Blend together all-purpose flour, cream of wheat, yeast, sugar, baking powder, salt, and water until smooth.
  • After blending, add baking soda to the mix and pulse a few times. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
  • Ladle the Atayef batter onto a hot pan.
  • Cook until the top bubbles up, creating a delightful cross between a pancake and a crumpet.
  • Keep the Atayef covered with a towel while making the entire batch to prevent drying.
  • Gently fold the Atayef in half, forming a cone, and pinch the bottom to seal.
  • Transfer the cones to the air fryer.
  • Spray with cooking oil and air fry at 350 degrees F for 6-8 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove from the air fryer and let them cool.
  • Whip heavy cream until you have a fluffy consistency.
  • Fill the Atayef with whipped cream using a spoon or a whipped cream canister.
  • Dip the tops of the cones in crushed pistachios.
  • Drizzle simple syrup over the top and serve your delightful Atayef!
