12 servings

  • 1.5 cups semolina flour
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons flaked coconut
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 6 whole almonds, split in half
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1.75 cups white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rose water

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the semolina flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, yogurt, oil, coconut, and baking powder. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the water, 1 3/4 cups sugar, and rosewater. Bring to a boil, and boil for 3 or 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the semolina batter into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Slice into squares or diamonds, and place on almond half onto each piece.
  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light brown. Switch the oven setting to broil, and broil until the top is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven, and pour the syrup over the squares. Serve warm.
