For an extra layer of flavor, toast the coconut flakes lightly before adding them to the batter. The syrup should be hot when poured over the basboosa for optimal absorption. Basboosa is best served at room temperature or slightly warm. Feel free to experiment with different nuts for decoration, such as pistachios or walnuts. For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of regular butter.
