Katatef

(Pancakes with Banana Stuffing)

1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon dried yeast
pinch salt
1 1/2 ounces butter for frying

Sugar Syrup:

---

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Stuffing:

---

4 bananas
5 ounces vanilla pudding

Put ingredients for sugar syrup into a pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes and cool. Mix first four ingredients into a dough, cover and allow to stand for 30 minutes at room temperature. Shape dough into four pancakes of 3-inch diameter and fry on both sides in butter.

To make the stuffing: Peel the bananas and mash with a fork. Add the vanilla pudding and mix well. Place some stuffing mixture on each pancake, fold in half and press the edges together well. Deep fry at 350 degrees and soak in the cold sugar syrup. Place in a sieve to remove excess sugar syrup.
