Msemmen au Lait

Msemmen au Lait is a delightful Moroccan brunch dish featuring flaky, layered flatbreads served warm with a drizzle of sweetened milk. This treat is perfect for sharing, offering a satisfying combination of texture and flavor.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Semolina - 50 grams
• Warm water - 150 milliliters
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Butter - 50 grams, melted
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Powdered sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Whole milk - 200 milliliters
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, semolina, salt, and warm water. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape them into balls. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.
3. On a lightly greased surface, flatten each ball into a thin disc and brush with melted butter. Fold each disc into a square, layering them to create flaky texture.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each folded msemmen for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
5. In a separate saucepan, heat the whole milk over low heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until dissolved.
6. Serve the hot msemmen drizzled with the sweetened milk.
