Ingredients
Semolina/Rava: 1 ¼ cup
Flour: ½ cup
Egg: 1
Milk: ¾ cup (or adjust as needed to get thick batter)
Baking Powder: 1tsp
Baking Soda: a pinch
Butter: 8tbsp
Sugar: ¾ cup
Sugar Syrup
Water: 1 cup
Sugar: 1 cup
Rose water: 1tbsp
Lemon Juice: 2tbsp
Method of Preparation
Sugar Syrup
In a pan add sugar, water and lemon juice. When it comes to boil, simmer the flame and let it be there for 5-6minutes.
Then add rose water to it. Keep for another 2 minutes.
Let the syrup cool.
Basbousa
In a bowl mix together semolina, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
In another bowl beat the egg.
Melt the butter and let it come to room temperature.
Add milk, egg, and butter to the flour mix. Mix well with a ladle. The batter consistency should be thick.
Preheat the oven.
Transfer the prepared batter to a greased baking tray. Spread evenly.
With a sharp knife cut the basbousa diagonally to diamond shapes.
Keep almonds on each diamond. (I was out of almonds so I kept some cashews)
Bake to about 30-40 minute at 2000C or till it is done.
Remove from the oven and move the knife through the cuts we have done prior to baking.
Pour the prepared sugar syrup over the prepared basbousa. Keep it for a while till it gets soaked in sugar syrup.
Serve n Enjoy.
