Baghrir: Moroccan Semolina Pancakes
Light and fluffy semolina pancakes
Ingredients
- 100 g semolina
- 50 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp dry yeast
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider/ white vinegar
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of turmeric optional
- 300 ml water
Instructions
- In a blender, add semolina, plain flour, dry yeast, salt, sugar, and water. Blend until combined. The batter should be thin, more like a crepe than a pancake. Add to a bowl and mix in baking powder and vinegar. You can also mix in a pinch of turmeric for more yellow color. Cover and let it rest for about 10/15 minutes.
- Heat up some olive oil in a pan, and pour a small ladle of the batter in the centre of the pan (this is because the batter is thin, more like a crepe than a pancake, so in the middle it will keep the round shape and not go into the sides.)
- Cook on low/medium heat, you will see bubbled form, and when the batter is all absorbed they are ready. Unlike regular pancakes you do not cook it on both sides.
- Serve with syrup, jam or your favourite toppings.
