Steps

1

In a bowl, combine the semolina flour and ghee. Mix as shown in the picture until the semolina is fully coated.
2

Add the yogurt and baking powder last, since semolina has a high gluten content.
3

Let the mixture rest for 2 hours so the ingredients can blend together.
4

After pouring the batter into the baking pan, tap the pan firmly on the counter to even out the surface and prevent cracks. Decorate with peanuts if you like.
5

Bake at 350°F (180°C) until cooked through.
6

Pour the warm syrup over the hot basbousa.
7

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I have more basbousa recipes and every shop has its own tricks and secrets.

It turns out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
