Steps
Steps
- 1Boil the sugar, water, lemon juice and honey for 10 minutes and cool completely.
- 2Pull the kadaif strands apart with your fingers on a wide surface until they are loose and airy — clumped pastry bakes into a solid brick.
- 3Pour over the melted butter and work it through every strand with your hands.
- 4Press half the buttered pastry into a baking tin as an even layer.
- 5Mix the walnuts with the cinnamon and scatter them over, then cover with the remaining pastry and press down firmly.
- 6Bake at 170°C for 45 minutes until deep gold all the way through, not just on top.
- 7Pour the cold syrup over the hot kadaif, then leave uncovered for at least 4 hours before cutting.
