Method

1. Toast 1 1/2 cups sugar over the heat until it turns golden. It’s best not to over-caramelize the sugar so it doesn’t become bitter.
2. Add 3 cups of water. The sugar will harden, then gradually dissolve with the heat. Once it has completely dissolved, add 1 1/2 cups fine semolina and stir, then add a small block of butter, about a small tea cup’s worth, and keep the mixture on the heat for about 5 minutes until the semolina is cooked.
   Timers: 5 min
3. Then finally add the 2 cups of walnuts.
4. Remove the mixture from the heat and pour it into a serving dish, then place it in the refrigerator.
5. When the maldoouqa mixture has cooled, spread it in the serving dish and top it with ashta cream, then garnish with pistachios, walnuts, or as desired.
