A recipe, Again….

 Hello Charlie, 

Long time no see! I hope you didn’t miss me too much ^^-

As we are in a stressful period with parcoursup, the bac that is coming etc… I decided to share with you something that helps me relax : COOKING 

* I also saw that a some people were sharing recipes these days so I decided to be original…*

Here is the recipe of my favorite dessert : Basboussa.

In fact, you may know this dish under another name as it is really popular all around the Mediterranean. You can thus eat a revani in Turkey, namoura in Lebanon, hrissa in Morocco or basboussa in Algeria.

                 

We’ll divide the recipe in two parts : 

Firstly, there is to make the syrup in which we will soak our cake later : 

In a pot, pour a cup of sugar, two cups of water, and half a lemon. Mix on high heat until it boils, then let 5 minutes on low heat. Once it is ready, set aside and let it cool while you make the cake.

The second step is to prepare the cake itself. Before anything else, please subscribe to our channel and turn on the notification bell - Ah sorry, wrong platform (In fact I am counting on the joke's nullity to be funny…..) Instead, preheat your oven at 180c. 

In a big bowl mix all together :

• 2 eggs

• ¾ a cup of sugar

• ¾ a cup of milk 

• ½ a cup of extra fine semolina (for the recipe to be a ✨success✨, NEVER use big or even regular semolina. )

• 10g of yeast 

Put the preparation in a greased and flour sprinkled mold that you will put in the oven. 

When you’ve done that, you are at the most crucial stage of the recipe : you have to supervise the cooking. 

As soon as you can put a knife in the cake and remove it clean, it is ready.

When it just got out of the oven, pour the cold syrup over the hot cake (but be careful not to burn yourself because the syrup will boil on your cake. I talk from experience guys, I don’t want you to have the same traumas as me ….) Wait around 5 minutes so the liquid gets absorbed and put the besboussa in the fridge. 

Finally, you must eat it cold, with some coconut flakes on the top and with a glass of hot mint tea. 

I hope you enjoyed this article and that you will try the recipe :)
