About this listen

 Presents a professional approach to preparing authentic Egyptian basbousa with results comparable to high-end pastry shops. It highlights a distinctive technique of toasting coconut and powdered milk to develop a deep, rich flavor. The explanation includes precise proportions for both a light syrup and a thick, honey-like binder, ensuring the cake is moist and tender without excessive sweetness. Key techniques are emphasized, such as coating the semolina in ghee to keep the texture soft and allowing the batter to rest in the refrigerator before baking for an ideal crumb. The process concludes with guidance on achieving a perfect contrast in texture, featuring a lightly crisp surface and a soft, syrup-infused interior.
