No Egg Basousa Recipe
Intro:
Basbousa is an Egyptian Semolina cake, drenched in syrup, that is best enjoyed for breakfast with a cup of coffee. For a long time, I’ve been trying to find the perfect recipe for this traditional Middle Eastern treat. None of the recipes my mother and aunts know of have worked out well for me, until now. Finally, with a little creativity, I have found the perfect secret ingredient: canned cream!
