Palestinian Knafeh recipe by Wafa Shami
PUBLISHED: NOV 22, 2023 BY WAFA SHAMI.
Palestinian knafeh is considered the most traditional and the most iconic dessert perhaps not only in Palestine but also across the Middle East.
Knafeh typically consists of shredded or finely ground dough mixed in ghee or melted butter, layered with stretchy cheese, baked then soaked in sugar syrup (ater).
It is delicious, slightly crunchy on the outside, cheesy, and gooey on the inside, with a unique combination of textures and flavors.

The Hollywood studio behind the film keeps feeding the script with new scenes, keeps adding millions of dollars to the budget. Early screen tests have proven it’s going to be a blockbuster, but only if they keep filming. And never stop.”
