welcome to shattora kitchen
Today we are going to make orange basbousa
2 cups of semolina’s flour
½ a cup of sugar.
Tsp of grated orange peel
¼ cup of orange juice
½ a cup of butter
½ tsp of baking powder
1 big cup of yogurt 170gm
As for the syrup we will need
1 and ½ cup of sugar
¾ cup of orange juice
¾ cup of water
and a small lemon that I will use a small amount of its juice
That’s all I am going to use for our recipe today , let’s see how we will make it
We are going to start with the syrup
I will put the 1 and ½ cup of sugar
Then add the ¾ cup of orange juice
And add ¾ cup of water using same cup
Finaly the juice of half a lemon
I am going to use the strainer to take out the seeds
Then I will put it on the stove while stirring
After it starts boiling count 3-4 minutes then add a spoon of butter or fat and turn it off
At the mean time I will start making the basbousa dough
For the dough we will start by putting the butter or fat to the semonila
so it doesn't dry out
add ½ cup of butter to the semolina
I will keep the rest for the syrup
I am doing this step because the semolina has gluten in it and if it touches any liquid
It will dry out after baking
I will keep the rest for the syrup
As you can see now it’s all covered with fat
Now I can start adding the rest of the ingredients
I will put ½ cup of sugar and I used the same cup for measuring
The cup I used for the orange juice is the same one I used for sugar and semolina’s flour
Adding ½ tsp of baking powder , mixing them all together
After that I start adding the yogurt
Then add the ¾ cup of orange juice
Then grated orange peel
And the orange juice
Now it’s ready for baking
I will bring a tray size 24cm brushed with butter or fat
And start adding the basbousa dough
Spread it like so
After we had spread it equally on the tray
I will put it in the oven in a 180c till it gains a beautiful golden color
To do so in order to keep it soft
The basbousa tray is ready now as you can see , so is the syrup
It’s important to pour it while it’s hot if it got cold reheat it before you take out
Now I will pour the syrup on the tray
See how it absorbs the syrup right away which is a sign of a successful basbousa
After pouring the syrup I cover it for five minutes , this is a very important step
I will show how it turned out after that
This is the basbousa after five minutes , see how it looks
Very soft and moist
I will cut it to show you how it looks
It is Still hot
It’s a little hot but see how soft it is
Very soft
and taste very delicious
