Method:

Mix all the above ingredients, except the table cream, in a glass bowl.

Once everything is combined pour the mixture into a casserole or baking tray.

Put the table cream in a piping bag or ziplock bag and pipe across lines horizontally and vertically, to create your perfect squares.

Bake at 180C for 45 minutes or until the skewer comes out clean when inserted.

Remove from the oven and set aside.

1 cup water

Juice of 1 lime

Boil all the above ingredients until the sugar dissolves and starts bubbling up. Set aside to cool, then pour it over the basbousa. After it soaks, then garnish with pistachios. Enjoy it with coffee.
