Baghrir

Baghrir, also known as Moroccan semolina pancakes, are delicate, spongy, and honeycombed with tiny holes on one side. These pancakes are traditionally enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack, often drizzled with honey or butter and sometimes served with a side of jam. Baghrir’s unique texture makes it perfect for soaking up sweet syrups, creating a delightful, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Baghrir offers a unique and delightful twist on traditional pancakes, perfect for a special breakfast or snack that brings a taste of Morocco to your table.

Here’s the recipe for Unique And Traditional Baghrir;

Directions:

• In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of the warm water with the active dry yeast and sugar. 
• Let it sit for about 10 minutes, until frothy.
• In a blender, combine the semolina, flour, remaining warm water, baking powder, and salt. 
• Add the frothy yeast mixture and blend until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
• Pour the batter into a large bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for about 30 minutes. The batter should become bubbly.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium heat. 
• Lightly grease it if necessary. 
• Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet, spreading it gently into a circle. 
• Cook until the surface is covered with holes and the batter looks set, about 2-3 minutes. 
• Do not flip, Baghrir are cooked on one side only.
• Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. 
• Repeat with the remaining batter. 
• Serve warm, drizzled with honey and melted butter, or with your favorite toppings.
