First, make the syrup. In a deep bowl, add the sugar and water without stirring. Place over medium-low heat. When it starts to boil, squeeze in half a lemon, stir, then turn off the heat. Add vanilla extract and set aside to cool.
2

In a bowl, mix the nuts, coconut, and raisins together. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each qatayef, then press the edges to seal.
3

Fry the qatayef in hot oil on both sides until golden. Remove from the oil and dip immediately into the syrup, turning to coat. After a minute, transfer to a strainer to drain excess syrup. Serve and enjoy!
