Beghrir – Moroccan Semolina Pancakes
These pancakes are not just delicious; they are also a joy to make. The ingredients are simple, and the results are rewarding. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups coarse semolina
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups warm water
- Honey or jam (for serving)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
- Gradually add the warm water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth and lump-free batter. The batter should be on the thinner side.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 30 to 60 minutes, until it has bubbled up and doubled in size.
- Once the batter is ready, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. You do not need to grease the skillet, as the pancakes will cook without sticking.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet, spreading it slightly to form a pancake. Allow it to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional minute, or until lightly golden brown. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked pancakes on a plate.
- Serve warm with honey drizzled over the top, or alongside your favorite jam. Enjoy every mouthful of these fluffy delights!
Beghrir are not just a breakfast option but can be enjoyed at any time of the day. The key is to serve them warm—they’re best enjoyed fresh off the stove. So gather your ingredients and treat your family to a wonderful Moroccan experience right at home!
