Baghrir is a traditional Moroccan pancake that is spongy and light, perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat. Enjoy it with honey or syrup!

Prep: 5 minutes · Serves 8

Ingredients

2.5 cups warm water
0.5 Tablespoon dry yeast
1 cup semolina
0.5 cup All purpose flour
a dash salt
0.5 Tablespoon baking powder

Method

In your blender, combine warm water, dry yeast, semolina, all-purpose flour, and salt. Pulse until everything mixes well together.
Add the baking powder and mix again.
Place the batter in a container and cover it to rise for approximately 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, the batter should be thin and easily pourable.
Heat an 8” skillet over medium heat. Pour about ½ cup of the batter into the skillet, allowing it to spread to the edges. If it doesn't spread, thin it with more water.
Cook until small holes appear all over the surface and no obvious uncooked surface remains, about 2 minutes.
Let the pancakes cool down a bit before serving. Enjoy with butter and honey or your favorite syrup.
