Method

1. First dissolve the yeast in two tablespoons of liquid milk, then put it in a bowl. Add the melted ghee, semolina, yogurt, sugar, rose water, and orange blossom water and mix to obtain a batter-like mixture rather than a dough; if it feels too thick, add a little more yogurt or milk....
2. Grease the baking pan with a little tahini or butter, though tahini gives a distinctive flavor...
3. Pour the mixture into the pan, cut it into pieces, and decorate the namoura to taste (as in the accompanying photos)
4. Bake the namoura at 180°C for between 30 and 40 minutes, depending on the oven...
5. After the namoura is baked, pour the syrup over the top immediately—the amount of syrup according to taste...
6. Syrup (sugar syrup):
7. 2 cups sugar
8. 1 cup water
9. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
10. Orange blossom water and rose water
11. Combine the sugar and water and stir; when the syrup boils, after three minutes of boiling squeeze in two drops of lemon and add a tablespoon of orange blossom water or rose water or both
12. Note: you can use butter instead of ghee in this recipe, but it is preferable to use dessert ghee because it has a special flavor
