Cataif (conversio vocabuli Arabici قطايف qaṭāʾif)

Cataif mediaevalis 
Recipe for Abbasid Qatâif
[p. 69, recto] It is made from the pierced musahhada that has already been mentioned. Take peeled almonds, pound them and let them dry until they are like semolina. Add as much again of sugar, spikenard, cloves, and Chinese cinnamon. Then take a flatbread (raghîf) of the aforementioned musahhada, free of burns, and sprinkle it with those almonds and ground sugar aplenty. Sprinkle it with rosewater in which some camphor is dissolved, and fold it until it is a half circle. Glue the edges with dough wetted in rosewater, and put it in a frying-pan full of fresh oil. Boil it, and then take it out immediately and remove it so it drains of the oil. Let it float in a syrup of roses or julep or skimmed honey. You might make raghîfs on raghîfs, filled inside, and glue the margins together, and they will turn out circles and halves.
