basbusa
semolina (cream of wheat) cake topped with almonds
Ingredients:
2 lbs cream of wheat
2 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 lb. butter
16 oz. plain yogurt (strained)
sliced almonds
Directions:
Bring all to room temperature. In a large bowl, mix sugar and cream of wheat. Add
butter, mix by hand, rubbing between your palms for at least 10 minutes until the
mixture becomes very well blended.

Add the yogurt and mix the same way until the dough feels smooth in your hand. If it
feels dry, add one tablespoon at a time of water, so when you hold it in your hand it
feels like a pie dough.

In a buttered 9X13 pan, pat the dough down with your hand flat. Sprinkle almond
slices on top. With sharp knife, cut dough into 2 inch squares or diamond shapes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.
