Method

1. Toast the sugar on medium heat until it turns a golden color. Do not overcook or it will taste bitter.
2. Add 3 cups of water (the sugar will harden at first and melt gradually with the heat). When it completely dissolves, add 1.5 cups of fine semolina and stir. Add a small block of butter (about a small coffee cup) and keep the mixture on the stove for about five minutes until the semolina cooks. Finally, add 1 cup ground pistachios.
3. Remove from heat and pour into a dish; refrigerate. When the madlouqa mixture cools, spread it on a serving plate and top with cream and garnish with pine nuts and pistachios, or to taste.
4. Cream preparation (How to prepare the cream):
5. For the cream
6. 5 cups powdered milk
7. 8 cups water
8. A small cup white vinegar
