Basboosa, as named in Egypt, or Nammoura or Hariseh, as called back home in Jordan, is a traditional Arabic sweet made of semolina flour, and sweetened by pouring sugar syrup over it when it’s still hot out of the oven. You’ll find different recipes for Basboosa, this one here I created after trying many other recipes, at the end I combined and made changes till I reached my own recipe, it has an unusual ingredient to you all; instant pudding, if you can’t find it in stores, try the recipe without, but I haven’t really. Everyone liked this version so I thought of sharing it here with you.
Thickness of the pieces using 13x10 inch will be around 1/2inch. I like them thin. But if you like them to be thicker, just use smaller tray for same quantities.
Awesome gluten free recipe I made for my girlfriend - she took the recipe and the leftovers! Thank heaps for sharing
