كنافة بالجبنة المطاطه 
Knafeh with Stretchy Cheese
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Generously grease the baking pan with butter.
- 2
Sift a thin layer of kataifi pastry using a sieve.
- 3
Spread a layer of kataifi about 1 cm thick, smooth the surface evenly, make a hole in the center, place the pan over heat, and start rolling the pastry.
- 4
In another pot, combine the milk and cornstarch. Once it thickens, add the orange blossom water and mastic gum.
- 5
Pour the cornstarch mixture over the cheese and start stirring and stretching. The milk helps the cheese form long strands.
- 6
Place the cheese in the pot and keep stirring.
- 7
Once the kataifi is golden, add the cheese, leave for a minute, then flip it over and drizzle with warm simple syrup. Mix the mastic gum with the ghee and orange blossom water.

Note: If the cheese releases too much water while melting, it means the type of cheese isn’t ideal. Drain the water and add the cheese to the kataifi once it’s golden. Skip the milk and cornstarch, as the cheese won’t thicken and will keep releasing liquid.

Knefe / knafe with rice pudding filling Knefe / knafe with rice pudding filling
This is my family's favorite recipe, I get asked to make it quite frequently. One thing I've learned from my grandmother is using great quality bases ( oil, butter, cream etc...) in this recipe butter has to be really good even though it's not a big part of the flavor, good quality butter (new Zealand or clarified butter) makes the recipe from tasting good to make you palate touch the clouds and gives the rare happy feeling only exquisite food can give. It can also be done with unsalted shredded mozzarella instead of the rice pudding filling.
