Instructions
(Lebanese Semolina Tart). Combine all ingredients (just mix with a fork, do not beat) and poured into a greased pan. Put into oven (375F/180C) for about 30 minutes (hint: when edges are firm and lightly browned it's ready. If rest of cake needs browning grill/broil for a few minutes.) Cut into squares or diamonds and place an almond in the center of each (this step is optional) SYRUP Make a syrup ( before making the cake ) by boiling 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Remove from heat, add a tsp of butter. leave to cool. When the cakes comes out of the oven, pour the cooled syrup on top. Hint, for the syrup, I use only 1/2 cup of sugar I add a little bit of vanilla to it. I also use, 1 1/4 cup of semolina flour and 1/4 cup of unsweetened coconut.
