| Salam, 4 cups of sugar may be too sweet for some ppl. When we make the syrup we usually use 2 cups of sugar and a couple of table spoons of honey with two cups of water and it is still quite sweet. If you don't have rose water you can always use vanilla. Bake it at 350 And I believe the semolina flour has to be of medium grain..not the fine or the coarse kind. |
