Notes

Konafa is made of a very thin half cooked pastry. The closest in North America would be vermicelli or Angel hair.

Konafa can be found in some Middle Eastern groceries.

In Turkey and Greece, the name Kataifi is used for what Egyptian call Konafa, while Katayef is another different Egyptian desert.

Is it rice or wheat vermicelli? It sounds good, I'd like to try it.
