Kataifi Pastry is a versatile ‘string’ pastry used to add delicious character to both sweet and savoury dishes.  Recently, it has been most popular for its inclusion in the viral Dubai Chocolate sensation.

While it is often mistakenly referred to as ‘shredded Fillo Pastry’, the process used to make Kataifi Pastry is very different to the way Fillo Pastry is made. To make Kataifi Pastry, a crepe-like batter is dripped onto a rotating heated metal plate through fine spouts, where it is briefly dried and cooked.  Its fine strands provide a unique texture, and its vermicelli-style nature makes it pliable into shapes only limited by one’s imagination.

Ingredients: Water, wheat flour, wheaten cornflour, canola oil, salt, dextrose, preservative (potassium sorbate 202)
