["Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.", "Grease the pan with the tahini.", "Mix all dry ingredients.", "Mix the olive oil, milk, ghee, and honey in a separate bowl.", "Add the wet to the dry and mix well.", "Pour the batter (it will be very gritty) into a shallow medium sized over shaped dish. I suggest using a ceramic dish, because the Egyptians used flower pots and those are ceramic too.", "Place the whole blanched almonds on the cake evenly so that there will be one almond for each piece. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.", "While the cake is baking, make the syrup.", "Add the honey and water into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.", "Add the lemon juice and stir until the honey is dissolved and the lemon juice is fully mixed.", "Remove from heat.", "After cake is done and cooled slightly, pour the syrup over the cake.

Refrigerate overnight.", "The end. You have made namoura with only the ingredients that would have been used in a traditional namoura in Ancient Egypt."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
