    Basbousa is a traditional bake for Egypt and much popular in the Middle Eastern Countries. It is made from Semolina and then soaked in sugar syrup and served.
    Last Bake-e-thon when sapana posted Basbousa I was so much impressed by the simplicity of the recipe as it is eggless and very simple. I booked marked it right there and today is the right day to present it. Now let’s get started.

    5. For the sugar syrup in a sauce pan add in water and sugar and bring everything to a boil in a medium flame. It takes around 8-10 mins and then finally add in Lemon Juice and switch off the flame. When the cake completely cools off pour the sugar syrup and then slice and serve.
