Ingredients

1 package Katayef (shredded phyllo Dough)
3 sticks sweet butter or margarine (melted)
1 pound fresh Ricotta Cheese

For the Syrup
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup water
1 tablespoon Rosewater

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, fluff the shredded phyllo dough until it is all pulled apart. Pour the melted butter over the phyllo dough and keep on fluffing so it is all mixed together.
  2. Grease an oven-proof dish and layer 1/2 of the phyllo dough on the bottom. Spread all of the ricotta cheese over the dough, and layer with the remaining dough.
  3. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  4. Prepare the syrup: Mix sugar, water, lemon juice in a saucepan and let boil for about 8 minutes. Add Rosewater and continue to boil for another minute. Remove from heat, let cool a bit.
  5. Pour syrup over pastry and serve.
