Yummy !!! I was actullay afraid from the amount of sugar but it turned out just right !! Did t add anything extra and it took 30 min baking . Amazing sfouf it reminded me of Lebanon and my childhood . Thanks for this recipe 👍👍👍👍👍
most welcome
As an advice let the cake rest for 1/2hr. or 1 hour before baking and it will turn out a much smoother texture to tast.
how much is the measurement for a 'Cup' in proportion to the teaspoon? as i'd like to try the recipe first, with half amount of ingredients, to make sure it turns out right.
So if you could give me the measurements in grams that would be great.
thank you!!
A
1 cup is 16 Tablespoons or 48 teaspoons
I have used this recipe several times. First, did I bake it to long, 2nd not long enough, did I forget an ingredient? My sfouf comes out so dry. I reduced time, but I had back luck. I gave the recipe to my niece who is Johnson Wales Culinary trained, and it was still dry. I am a 60 year old Lebanese woman and my sfouf comes out dry.Dryer than cornbread. How embarrassing. Any suggestions?
