Egyptian Pastries: Basbousa

Basbousa is a favorite Egyptian pastry, much like our cornbread and honey - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Lemon juice and sugar are simmered into a thick syrup and poured over the top.

Almonds and fruit are favorite toppings. I used a fresh peach, coconut, nutmeg and almonds.
