Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- Place 1 cup of sugar in a pot over the heat and leave it over low heat until the sugar melts
- Add 1 cup of hot water and stir so the sugar does not clump and dissolves completely and caramelizes
- In a second pot, place the butter with the fine semolina and stir over low heat until the butter melts..
- Add the caramel over the semolina and stir, then add the orange blossom and rose water and stir again until mafroukeh dough forms
- Turn off the heat and spread the mafroukeh dough in a serving dish and leave it enough time to cool well
- Prepare the ashta... put the liquid milk in a pot over the heat until it warms up.. then add the lemon juice and yogurt so the milk curdles and turns into curds
- After a few minutes, turn off the heat under the milk and strain it to get rid of the water completely, keeping the curds
- Mix the qaimar with the curds and place the ashta in the fridge to cool well before using
- Spread a layer of ashta after it cools over the mafroukeh dough and garnish with fried nuts as desired and available
