How To Make baghrir, semolina pancakes with honey butter

  • 1
    Place dry ingredients in a food processor with 750 ml (3 cups) lukewarm water and process to a smooth batter. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 45 minutes or until batter doubles in size and surface is covered with bubbles. Do not over-prove mixture or it will become too thick.

    To make honey butter, process honey and butter in a food processor until smooth.
  • 3
    Place a frying pan (or better, use a griddle) over medium heat and, using a pastry brush, lightly grease pan with oil. Add ½ cup batter to pan and cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then flip and cook for a further 2 minutes or until golden on both sides.
