Namoura /basbousa

"A quintessential Lebanese and Middle Eastern dessert that goes by many names such as namoura, basbousa, hareesa, revani, safra and maybe more; it varies from country to country — depending on where it is being baked. Namoura could be one of the most requested recipes I have been asked for. So dear readers, here I am bringing you a flawless recipe, just like the pastry-style variety. Next time you wander into a pastry shop in Lebanon to buy namoura, don’t reach for your wallet to shell out money; remind yourself that you can go home and make it."
