Fill the pouring bad (that has a steel head) with part of the dough.Start pouring small circles on a steel pan you have put on the fire. You can make the circles as big or as small as you like.
After 1 minute of pouring the circles turn the Katayef to the other side for 2 seconds and then we take them off the steel pan.

Close the Katayef (with the filling inside) to make a half moon shape. Close it tightly by pressing on the edges of the dough.
