The butter

Add the yogurt I use local one. Total weight is 750 g. Put the dough in the fridge 2 hrs at least

After 2 hrs. Spread the dough in a tray 35x25 (as a reference). With a knife make the rectangles -like above- deep till the bottom of the tray. And put the almonds. Put the rest of the butter on top.

Bake 45-55 mins in a preheated oven 190 C.

In the meantime make the syrup. In a pot put the sugar cover with water and let boil. Add few drops of lemon and let boil few mins. Off the fire let cool add the rose water.

Once the cake is cooked pour the syrup over it until it is absorbed. Discard the excess. Let cool. This sweet keeps for 10 days in the fridge.
