   • Sift the flour and starch together once.

   • Gradually add the mixture to the boiling water and stir immediately to prevent lumps.

   • Continue stirring until a dough forms.

   • Let them sit for a few minutes before serving.

     

Tips for Perfect Bamieh:

• If you don’t have lemon juice, you can use citric acid instead.

• Adding a tablespoon of glucose to the syrup will make the Bamieh shinier and prevent crystallization.

• You can enhance the flavor by adding cardamom or saffron to the dough.
