I'd follow what the directions and recipe says, i just hope that it'll be the same 😅

Yes i made this for my culinary/pastry class during our International Sweet Week, and it turned out very well. It turned out so well that my instructor couldn't figure out what area of the world it came from. Needless to say that i recieved a extra 5 points for him being unable to guess.

This is very delicious and unique recipe that you must try. I used sliced almonds instead of almond halves and cut down the amount of sugar to 1 1/2 cups in the syrup. Since I baked this in a glass pan I turned down the oven tempature to 325 degrees. I did not find that there was too much of the syrup or that it was drowning in it, like some other reviewers found. We all just loved the flavor of the rosewater and we think this would also be great using orange flower water instead of rose water. Thanks for the great recipe!!!

this is wonderful and so simple. I made this as a Ramadan dessert treat for my DH and his friends. I upped the coconut by 1 tbsp. Decreased the sugar in the syrup by 1/4 cup and just boiled it a bit longer to get the right consistency for simple syrup. I had homemade rosewater my sister in law made and it is a bit stronger than store-bought. I still upped the rosewater by about 1tbsp. I just taste-tested the syrup after it was finished and adjusted accordingly. The flavor was not overpowering and was just perfect. Orange blossom water can also be substituted. **You may see semolina flour packaged as "cream of wheat" in a Middle Eastern or Indian grocery; it is the same as semolina flour, just a different name. Even though mine got a little too brown on top, it did not affect the flavor. Next time I'll only do 1 minute under the broiler. As it cools, it will absorb the simple syrup. These are also just as good served cold. Thanks so much for this wonderful simple recipe that will become a staple for my husband's sweet tooth!
