If you’ve ever loved the syrupy comfort of a traditional Middle Eastern basbousa, you’ll adore this modern twist. These mini semolina cakes are baked in cupcake molds for easy sharing and portion control. Fragrant rose syrup and crunchy pistachios give them an elegant touch perfect for gatherings.


Ingredients

For the cakes:

  • 1 cup fine semolina
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut

  • 1/4 cup melted ghee or butter
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios

  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp rose water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 12-cup muffin tray.
  2. Mix semolina, coconut, yogurt, sugar, ghee, and baking powder into a thick batter. Fold in half the pistachios.
  3. Spoon batter into muffin cups and bake 18–20 minutes until golden on top.
  4. Meanwhile, simmer sugar, water, and lemon juice for 8 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in rose water at the end.
