Steps

  1. 1

    Take the kunafa dough and cut it into thin, long strips. Wrap each strip around your thumb to form a small nest shape, like a bird’s nest.

  2. 2

    Arrange the kunafa nests closely together in a baking pan so they fit snugly.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter (it should be melted but not hot) and gently drizzle it over the kunafa nests. The more butter you use, the more golden and crispy the kunafa will be.

  4. 4

    Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until the bottoms are golden. Then turn on the broiler for about a minute to brown the tops—watch closely as they brown quickly.

  5. 5

    Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the kunafa nests to drain off excess butter.

  6. 6

    Pour the cold, thick sugar syrup generously over the kunafa nests, but don’t overdo it so they don’t get soggy or fall apart.

  7. 7

    Let the kunafa drain and cool completely, then garnish as you like and serve. Enjoy! 😉😍😋.
