Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear on the surface and remain there,such that the pancake looks spongy.Remove from the pan and let the pancakes cool completely. (Qatayef are cooked only on one side - the bottom is cooked through and is slightly golden brown, and the top remains soft so that it can be pinched together to seal. The whole pancake should remain very pliable)

. Starting from the thin side, pinch the pancake together at the top to seal. Seal it about half or three fourths of the way - don't close it all the way. Some ricotta should be poking out of the katayef on the open side, like.
