Instructions
  1. Put the margarine in a small pot and let it melt. While whisking, add semolina and then the sugar and the orangeade.

  8. Fold the edges inwards the pan and grease with oil. Bake over preheated oven at 200℃, set on fan, for 30 minutes.
  9. Turn it over and bake for 30 minutes (depending on the oven).
  10. Serve with icing sugar and cinnamon.
Σημειώσεις
  1. When you start preparing the cream, it might seem curdled. Don't worry, it's gonna be as it should be.
  2. You can use as many puff pastry sheets as you like.
  3. You can roast margarine along with semolina if you want.
  4. It looks like Halvah, wrapped in puff pastry sheets.
