Baghrir/ Beghrir ~ Moroccan Semolina Pancakes
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup semolina ground coarsely
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tbsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 2 cups warm water more, if needed
FOR HONEY BUTTER
- 1/4 cup honey
- 25 gm butter
- 2 tbsp water
- A dash of rose water or orange blossom water optional
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend till mixture is smooth.
- Pour into a pan and allow it to rest for 30 minutes. Add more water to make the batter of pourable consistency - not as thick as pancake batter but not too thin too.
- Heat a pan. Pour half cup batter into the hot pan. The batter will spread and shape itself up. Cook for around 3 minutes till bubbles form all over and the top looks done.
- Repeat till the rest of the batter is done.
- To make the honey butter, add all ingredients except the flavoring in a small saucepan and cook on low flame till all melted and combined. Switch off and add the flavoring, if using. Serve with the beghrir.
Notes
The semolina being used must be fine. If you have course semolina in your pantry, make sure to powder it before using into the recipe.
