Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 175°C. Grease a 22.86 cm square baking pan and dust it lightly with gluten-free flour.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the 1 1/2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, 1/2 cup Semolina Flour, 1 cup Sugar, 1 tbsp Baking Powder, 2 tsp Turmeric Powder, and 1 tsp Anise Seeds. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
- 3Pour the 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil and 1 cup Water into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together with a whisk or spatula until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
- 4Pour the batter evenly into the prepared 22.86 cm square baking pan.
- 5Sprinkle the 1/4 cup Pine Nuts over the top of the batter.
