Step-by-Step Instructions for Kataifi From Scratch
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt until thoroughly combined.
- Pour in ½ cup of vegetable oil and 1 cup of warm water into your dry mixture. Blend until you achieve a smooth and thick batter.
- Fit a piping bag with a small round tip, then sieve the batter into it.
- Heat a non-stick pan over low heat. Squeeze the piping bag to create thin strands across the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the edges begin to lift and turn golden, transfer the kataifi strands onto a plate using a spatula.
- Continue the process with the remaining batter, maintaining low heat.

Notes
Kataifi is best served immediately. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days, reheating briefly to restore crispiness.
