  4. To prepare the atayef pancakes: delicately pour 1 large serving spoon of batter on a slightly greased pan. You should have an 8 cm diameter pancake. Cook on one side only. Bubbles will form on the surface of the dough. The pancakes are ready to be removed when the bubbles burst and the bottom of the pancake is slightly brown. The pancakes should be firm enough to be filled but they shouldn't be fully cooked. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
  5. Put 1 tablespoon of the walnut stuffing on the uncooked side of each pancake. Fold pancake over the filling in the shape of half-moon and firmly press the edges together to seal.
