Ingredients
3 cups of semolina
1 ½ cups of margarine or oil
3 cups sugar
9 cups water
½ cup Chopped almonds
Powdered cinnamon
Method
1. Boil water and sugar for a while to form a light syrup, 20 minutes in advance
2. Melt margarine or oil in a wide saucepan and add the semolina, stirring constantly until it becomes light gold in colour. Add chopped almonds during this time.
3. Add sugar syrup to semolina and mix until smooth.
4. Reduce heat, cover pan and let it stand for half an hour for semolina to absorb syrup.
5. When cool, you can serve it as it with the cinnamon or put it in a mould (a bowl is cool) and stick it in the fridge. When cool it can be turned out like a cake
6. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon.
