I was inspired by the famous Greek Ravani cake in making those delicious squares as I have seen many recipes for it lately. The addition of yogurt was really great and the semolina flour gave them a little crispy touch.

Ahmed do you think is a good idea maybe to add orange or lemon zest to the syrup, just a touch?
