Qatayef Asafiri (Mini Pancakes)

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup Semolina
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 1/4 cups Warm Water
• 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
• 1 teaspoon Orange Blossom Water
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a blender, combine the 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 1/4 cup Semolina, 1 teaspoon Baking Powder, and 1 tablespoon Sugar.
2. 2Add the 1 1/4 cups Warm Water to the blender and blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
3. 3Allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes. This allows the ingredients to combine properly.
4. 4Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat, about 325°F (160°C).
5. 5Pour small circles of batter, about 2-3 tablespoons each, onto the hot griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until small bubbles appear all over the surface and the bottom is lightly golden brown.
6. 6Carefully remove the pancake from the griddle. Do not cook the other side. Place the cooked pancake on a plate, uncooked side up.
7. 7In a separate bowl, combine the 1 cup Ricotta Cheese and 1 teaspoon Orange Blossom Water. Stir until well mixed.
8. 8Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture onto the uncooked side of each pancake.
9. 9Fold each pancake in half to create a semi-circle shape. Gently pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside.
10. 10Serve the Qatayef Asafiri immediately.
