Beghrir Recipe - Crepe-Like Moroccan Pancakes
"Beghrir are tender Moroccan pancakes made from semolina flour. Yeast in the crepe-like batter causes hundreds of bubbles to form and break on the surface of each pancake as it cooks. This gives beghrir its unique texture and appearance. Beghrir are cooked only on one side. They're easy to make, but in order for the bubbles to form properly, the batter must be the right consistency. If the batter is too thick, the bubbles can't form. Use the conventional measures, or try my preferred method -- using a tall drinking glass to measure ingredients. (Also see the Tips at the end of the recipe.)..."
