Baghrir
Baghrir is a delicious Moroccan pancake that is popularly known as "Thousand-Hole Pancake" or "Honeycomb Pancake" due to its unique texture. It's made from a batter of semolina, flour, yeast, and water, which is then cooked on one side only. The top of the pancake is covered with tiny holes, creating a spongy and porous texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fine semolina
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina, flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the lukewarm water to the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest for about 30 minutes to allow the yeast to activate and create air bubbles.
- After the resting time, you'll notice bubbles on the surface of the batter. Give it a quick stir, and then add the baking powder, stirring gently to incorporate it into the batter.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Do not grease the pan.
- Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan, spreading it into a circular shape. The batter will spread by itself and form the characteristic holes.
- Cook the pancake on one side only until the top is covered with holes and the bottom is lightly golden, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the pancake from the pan and transfer it to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter until finished.
- Serve the Baghrir warm, drizzled with honey or melted butter. You can also add your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
