4 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups semolina flour
  • 1/3 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk, or as needed
  • 1/4 cup whole almonds
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square baking dish.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, mix together the semolina flour, baking powder, 1 cup sugar, coconut and butter. Add the yogurt and milk; mix until moistened but not runny or liquid. If you see that it is too dry, add more milk. Spread into a greased 8 inch square baking dish, smoothing the top as much as possible. Decorate the top with whole almonds.
  3. 3
    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. While the basboosa is baking, combine the water, 1 cup of sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook for at least 5 minutes.
  4. 4
    When the basboosa has finished baking, pour the syrup over it as evenly as possible. Place it back in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the syrup has been fully absorbed. Let rest for about 20 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.
