  • For the vermicelli knafeh: 
  • Preheat oven to 350°F /175°C.
  • Lay a kitchen towel out, place the vermicelli noodles in the middle and wrap it tightly (view video). Use an edge of a table to break up the noodles. 
  • Put in a bowl with the softened butter and mix well. 
  • Butter an 8 inch round pan. Use the back of a measuring spoon to lay out half the noodles mixture. Put a layer of cheese filling in the middle then top with the rest of the noodle mixture. Press over the top with the back of the measuring spoon.
  • Bake for 25 mins.
  • For the cornflakes knafeh:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F /200°C.
  • Add crashed cornflakes to a bowl and mix well with the butter. 
  • Butter a sheet pan. Put half the cornflakes into the sheet pan using the back of a measuring spoon to tighten.
  • Put the cheese filling layer on top then add the rest of the cornflakes and spread evenly. 
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Pour the honey syrup over the knafeh while it is still hot and top with the crushed pistachios. Enjoy!
