Cous cous cooking with cling film and boiling water - urgent help

[bumbling]

Need help with cous cous quick simple preparation. I've done it before but forgotten.

So proportions for cooking couscous with hot water - ie one cup cous cous one cup water. I know you can add butter/olive oil or much more interesting stuff etc but tonight I'm desperate for proportions for the basics!

I put on just enough water to cover the cous cous

Thank you! So just a milimetre or two above the cous cous or something? Not a whole centimetre?

Yep, same amount of boiling water as for cous cous then cover with cling film and leave for about 10 minutes, fluff with a fork.

yup - just above the cous cous

ok so principle is 1 cup of couscous, one cup of boiling water. Match it, whatever the quantity. Fantastic both. Many thanks.
