Tip

Hello! I have an Italian background and am married to a Lebanese background. I've never really liked Knafeh as the Rose water was too intense for me. I made some minor adjustments to the original recipe. I feel like it suits my pallette better. If there is anyone else who is not a fan of Rose Water, please give this recipe a try.

    Recipe is created for
    TM 6
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
