Moroccan Basbousa baking class in Lisbon at Fatima Al Zahra Pastelaria in Benfica, a three-hour hands-on session at 15 euros where you learn to make one of Morocco’s most beloved traditional desserts from scratch using authentic recipes and techniques passed down through generations. Basbousa is a semolina cake prepared with yoghurt and butter for a wonderfully soft and moist texture, soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup and traditionally decorated with whole almonds, and this workshop takes you through every step from batter to the aromatic syrup that gives it its distinctive taste. Traditional Moroccan mint tea is also included, the perfect accompaniment to close the session.<\/p>\n
The workshop explores the cultural significance of Basbousa and why it is enjoyed during family gatherings and celebrations across Morocco, in the warm and welcoming atmosphere of Fatima Al Zahra, an authentic Moroccan pastelaria in the heart of Benfica where every handcrafted product is made with genuine passion for sharing Moroccan culture and tradition.<\/p>\n
