Mix in a bowl the semolina, the sugar and the pinch of salt. Water it with the orange flower water. Mix and work with your hands to obtain a kind of couscous but not a dough. Let it rest a few minutes, then put it in a buttered cake tin by flattening the surface gently.  Cut  and decorate with almonds. Bake it in a hot oven (thermostat 7)  for  approximately 40 minutes. Once baked, water it with the cold syrup.
