Pancake Batter

Serving

Method

Preparing the Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the semolina, all-purpose flour, yeast, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add warm water to the dry mixture, whisking until you have a smooth batter. It should be slightly thicker than pancake batter.

  3. 3

    Let Batter Rise

    Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the batter rest for about 30 minutes in a warm place until it bubbles.

Cooking the Pancakes

  1. 4

    Preheat Skillet

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Do not grease the surface.

  2. 5

    Cook Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry (about 2 to 3 minutes).

  3. 6

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with melted butter and honey, and sprinkle with crushed almonds. Add a few drops of orange blossom water for flavor.

  2. 8

    Pair with Mint Tea

    Enjoy your Baghrir with a cup of refreshing mint tea.
