Steps

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 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. 5

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

  6. 6

    Pour the warm syrup over the hot basbousa.

  7. 7

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

  8. 8

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

  9. 9

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