📃 This oriental sweet is very popular in the Balkans and the Middle East.
It is known by many names: basbusa (Arabic: بسبوسة), revani (Turkish), ravani or revani (Greek: ραβανί and ρεβανί) and Revane (Bulgarian: Реване).
The dessert is made with eggs and semolina, baked and left to sit in syrup.
In this video, I prepare the Bulgarian version, very popular in public canteens.
☞The ingredients for the recipe:✰
50g wheat flour
150g wheat semolina
30-40g pistachios
5 eggs
150 g of crystal sugar
½ capsule of lemon essence
For the syrup:
300g sugar
1-2 tbsp. lemon juice
½ capsule of lemon essence
Preparation method
Beat the egg whites until stiff,
add half of the sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat the yolks
with the remaining sugar.
Add the sifted flour and the semolina,
sprinkle with lemon essence.
Once the ingredients are well mixed,
transfer the beaten egg whites. Mix again.
Pour into small silicone baking molds,
which are lightly greased beforehand.
Fill 2/3 of them. Bake in moderate oven,
at 180 degrees, for about 30 minutes.
For the syrup:
Pour in pot the sugar with about 300 ml of water.
Add the lemon juice and essence.
After the water boils, boil for about 5-10 minutes.
Make cuts on the surface of the sponge cake, pour in the warm syrup.
When serving, sprinkle with finely chopped pistachios.
Enjoy!
