Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams semolina flour
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams sugar
- 250 milliliters skimmed milk
- 50 milliliters vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground aniseed
- 30 grams pine nuts
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine semolina flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, ground turmeric, ground aniseed, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the skimmed milk and vegetable oil.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a spatula or wooden spoon to form a smooth batter.
Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan (or use parchment paper for lining) and pour the batter into the pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the pine nuts evenly over the top of the batter.
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is a rich golden yellow.
Remove from the oven and allow the sfouf to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut the sfouf into squares or diamonds as preferred and serve.
