Best Lebanese Namoura from Scratch (Nammura, basbousa)

[@meerabakshi2676]

I loved the idea of teaching one word with each new video! What a great idea to learn a new language! Thanks. My husband 81 year old is learning Spanish with my grand daughter. My son lives in different State in USA. So here learning is over the WhatsApp video! He suggested my son and his wife to use one word a day in common talking knowingly using SPANISH word ...that would funa s well as easy to remember and learn a new language! Here I see the same principle applied! Thanks for the video and the new idea!

[@nourcookslebanese523]

Nice..am lactose intolerant and was looking at for a recipe without milk. Thank you

[@nourcookslebanese523]

You are very welcome, Liz😊 I also always substitute whole milk with coconut or almond milk whenever I can! There is a version of this recipe that uses coconut flakes in batter so I was like « coconut milk » will be 2 ingredients in one😊 I made it with both kinds of milk, I definitely preferred the non-dairy version:)

[@nabila7]

i followed the exact recipe, but mine mine did not cook and was hard inside. What did i do wrong?

[@nourcookslebanese523]

It is supposed to turn like a cake texture and then you would add the syrup and it would be like soaked in it.

[@cheatednomore6430]

Hello Nour! 🐘 I have 2 questions. I am baking the namoura right now. Should namoura be refrigerated after it is finished or can it be left out of refrigerator? Also, what kind of vegetable oil are you using? I try to not cook with canola oil (which is in my vegetable oil mix) and would rather use another type oil. Do you ever use corn oil? At your convenience please let me know. I am SO happy with your recipes. They make my heart smile & so do you! 🌹

[@kukulidouce2014]

cheatednomore Have you tried with grapeseed oil...? It is lighter and different flavor...

[@cheatednomore6430]

@@kukulidouce2014 I haven't. Thank You for the suggestion! I will try.

[@nourcookslebanese523]

I used Mazola as the vegetable oil. I have never tried the grapeseed oil, but sounds interesting!! It can be left over the counter for a day or so, but refrigeration is best afterwards, as it contains milk. Thank you very much for the comments. Hope you enjoyed the taste of Namoura.

[@cheatednomore6430]

Hi the measurement that you quoted and used for the syrup in the video is it the same amount that you poured over the cooked cake? It looked much more in quantity

Hi! I'd like to ask you a question. When making the syrup,, can I leave out the blossom water and the unsalted butter ? Thanks.

[@favoritos907]

@@nourcookslebanese523 I will. I just have to buy the ingredients. Thanks.

[@lenoreparker2089]

I don't like blossom water, so I use almond and/or vanilla essence. I also score the cake in diagonal triangles before baking it. Then the syrup can seep in much faster. I've never used flour either. I use coarse amd fine semolina. I also use yogurt.

[@sarahamo9172]

Hello, why add butter to sugar syrup what is the role of the spoon of butter ?? I'd love to hear from you. Thank you

[@nourcookslebanese523]

Butter adds richness to the flavor and makes the syrup denser for it to sink in the batter. it is optional though and you can definitely skip it:)
