Middle Eastern Pancakes Ataif

"“Ataif” are popular in the Middle East. The batter is very sweet and the pancakes are dipped in honey, sprinkled liberally with walnuts and cinnamon and topped with a thick, almost solid cream called “kaymak”. This unctuous topping makes even Double Devon cream seem weak and watery, although Double Devon—or even stiffly whipped cream—can be used."

  1. SOOOOOOO good! The honey syrup was not at all overpowering or too sweet, the cinnamon and cream really made these to die for! I used heavy whipping cream,but wish I had something heavier. I will make these again!
