Ingredients

• •1 pound konafah
• •1 pound butter, molten
• •¼ pound walnuts
• •½ pound unsalted Peanuts
• •¼ pound coconuts
• •1 teaspoonful fine ground cinnamon
• •Syrup:
• •1 ½ cups sugar
• •1 ½ cups water
• •1 teaspoonful lemon juice
• •1 teaspoonful vanilla.

Directions

1. 1To make the syrup, add sugar to water, stir on mild-heat stove until dissolved.
2. 2Add lemon juice and boil for 30 to 45 minutes using minimum heat until it gets viscous and thick. Allow it to cool to room temperature. Add vanilla.
3. 3To make the nuts, convert the nuts to small particles the size of sesame seeds. Mix with coconuts and cinnamon.
4. 4To make the konafah, use a 9 by 11 inch tray; coat all sides of the tray with butter.
5. 5Mix konafah with molten butter. To do so, try to divide it to small pieces to be mixed with butter.
6. 6After mixing, divide konafah into two equal quantities. Spread the first half of konafah in the tray and try to press it and make its surface even. Spread the nuts mixture over it. Then, add and spread the second half. Press it with fingers, making its surface even.
7. 7Add the remainder amount of butter on the surface evenly.
8. 8Bake in preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes until the lower surface of konafah turns golden.
9. 9Turn the oven to broil until the upper surface turns golden.
