Ingredients

19 3/4 cups noodles Kadayif
1 1/8 cups butter
1 5/8 cups walnuts crushed
3 cups sugar
2 cups water
citric acid
lemon juice

Directions

1

I usually make the syrup first. Add all the ingredients and boil for 20 minutes until it is fairly thick.
2

Melt the butter and pour over the noodles. Sift through the noodles to make sure they are covered with the butter. Take half of the noodles and press into your pan. Sprinkle over the walnuts. Place the rest of the noodles on top and press again. Press fairly hard as you want it to be as compressed as you can make it. Place into a hot oven and cook until golden brown on top. Then getting another tray turn over the noodles and place into the oven again. When the other side is golden brown take out of the oven and let cool a little.
3

Pour the syrup over the cooked noodles and let it sit for a few minutes so it can get soaked up.
4

Serve with sprinkled nuts on top and with cream on the side if so desired.
