Chef tips
For the perfect texture, make sure the sugar syrup is completely cold when you pour it over the piping hot knafeh straight from the oven—the contrast between hot and cold is the secret to lasting crunch. To elevate the flavor, add a splash of rose water to the cold syrup. The kids can help brush the syrup onto the hot pastry and finish with a generous sprinkle of crushed pistachios.
