Directions
Here are some tips for making basbousa:
- Use good quality semolina. The semolina is the main ingredient in basbousa, so it’s important to use a good quality one.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the basbousa tough.
- Bake the basbousa until it’s golden brown. If it’s not golden brown, it won’t be as sweet and flavorful.
- Let the basbousa cool completely before serving. This will help the syrup to soak into the cake and make it more moist.
- Garnish with slivered almonds. Slivered almonds add a nice touch to basbousa.
