Ingredients
  

For The Pancakes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1¾ cups milk
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For The Pistachio Kataifi Filling

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon tahini optional
  • 1 cup milk chocolate melted
For Topping
  • Extra melted chocolate
  • Crushed pistachios
  • Extra pistachio cream
  • Powdered sugar
  • Chocolate shavings

Method
 

Step 1: Toast The Kataifi
  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped kataifi pastry and cook while stirring constantly until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Remove from heat and mix with pistachio cream and tahini. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare The Pancake Batter
  1. In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients gently until just mixed. Do not overmix.
Step 3: Cook The Pancakes
  1. Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Pour batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on top. Flip and cook until golden brown.
  3. Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 4: Assemble The Pancakes
  1. Place one pancake on a serving plate.
  2. Spread pistachio kataifi filling over the pancake and drizzle with melted chocolate.
  3. Repeat layers with remaining pancakes.
  4. Top with extra chocolate, pistachio cream, crushed pistachios, and powdered sugar.
  5. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Toast the kataifi until deeply golden for the best crunch.
  • Warm pistachio cream spreads more easily.
  • Thick pancakes work best for stacking.
  • Dark chocolate creates a less sweet version.
  • Best served immediately after assembly.
