Basboosa RecipeOrigin: Libya Period: Traditional |
Ingredients:
250ml plain yoghurt 
Basboosa Preparation:Method:In a bowl whisk together the sugar and yoghurt until smooth then add all the remaining ingredients (except the almonds) and mix to a smooth paste. Turn this into a well-greased baking pan, slice in to squares and allow to sit and swell for 6 hours. After this time transfer the pan to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture is set and golden yellow in colour. Remove from the oven, sit an almond in the centre of each slice then slice again along the lines of the original cuts. Return to the oven and bake for about 10 more minutes, or until golden brown in colour. In the meantime, combine the water and sugar for the syrup in a pan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and continue cooking for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Take off the heat and whisk in the lemon juice. Remove the semolina cakes from the oven, allow to cool completely then serve drizzled with the lemon syrup. |
