Egyptian Basbousa

For those of you who don't know basbousa, these are sweet cakes made of farina, and sometimes semolina. They are popular in eastern Mediterranean countries like Egypt, Greece and Turkey. It may go by a variety of names like hareesa or revani, but in Egypt they call it basbousa. If you're not the biggest fan of baklava, you should try these. They have a smooth consistency while having a slight crunch from the crust and almond. Each piece is $0.75, with a minimum order of $10, and they make very elegant gifts. The bottom picture is a sample of what we can do for catering for parties or events, it's a tray of mini basbousa treats. Ingredients are semolina, sour cream, farina, sugar, butter, almonds and vanilla.
