From midgelet 15 years ago
- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 8
When I was growing up I was fascinated by this dough, which the Armenian neighbor lady purchased at a special shop. She showed mama how to make it. It's typical of many Middle -Eastern syrup soaked pastries and is delcious! Read more Kadayif dough is a shredded dough with a consistency of phyllo dough . Interesting enough, Bourma may be made from phyllo dough but this recipe made with the shredded dough and baked in caske pans is really more unique .We have this recipe for over 50 years! See less
