Baghrir – Moroccan Pancakes

Course: Breakfast

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine semolina
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 package of instant yeast about 2 1/4 tsp
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 1/2 cups lukewarm water with additional water as needed
  • Warm honey and melted unsalted butter for topping

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients except for the baking powder.
  2. Gradually add water and mix until the batter reaches a relatively thin consistency. If it’s too thick, you may need to add more water as necessary.
  3. Transfer the batter to a blender and blend until everything is well combined. Then, add the baking powder, mix again, and let it rest covered for 15 minutes.
  4. After 15 minutes, the batter should appear very bubbly.
  5. Heat a pan over medium-high heat with some butter or oil spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Using a ladle, pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the pan to create a light and fluffy pancake. Bubbles should start forming immediately.
  7. Once the top of the pancake looks fully cooked and set, remove it from the heat. Unlike regular pancakes, you don’t flip Baghrir!
  8. If the bubbles are too big or uneven, you may need to re-blend the batter or add more water to achieve the perfect consistency.
  9. Serve the Baghrir with warmed honey and melted butter for a delicious treat!
