Baghrir

Baghrir, also known as Moroccan pancakes, are light and spongy with a unique texture from the numerous holes that form on the surface. Served with honey or syrup, they make for a delightful vegan breakfast option.

Ingredients

• Semolina - 100 grams
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Active dry yeast - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Warm water - 300 ml
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the semolina, all-purpose flour, baking powder, yeast, and salt together.
2. Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth and free of lumps.
3. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the batter rest in a warm place for about 20 minutes, until it becomes bubbly.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
5. Pour a ladle of batter into the skillet, cooking until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look cooked (about 2-3 minutes).
6. Do not flip the pancake; instead, remove it after the top is set and place it on a plate.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
8. Serve warm with honey, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
