Basbousa Recipe | How to Make Revani

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a baking dish with butter.

In a large bowl, combine semolina, sugar, yogurt, baking powder, melted butter, and salt.

Mix until well combined and a thick batter forms.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

Score the surface into diamond shapes using a knife.

Place an almond in the center of each diamond.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

While the basbousa is baking, prepare the syrup by combining water, sugar, lemon juice, and rose water in a saucepan.

Bring the syrup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the basbousa from the oven and immediately pour the hot syrup over it.

Allow the basbousa to cool completely before cutting along the scored lines.

Serve at room temperature and enjoy.
