Beghrir (Moroccan Pancakes) image

Moroccan pancakes are served with honey-butter sauce. Best during Ramadan for breaking the fast or pre-dawn, but certainly great anytime.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup warm water (115 degrees F/46 degrees C)
½ teaspoon active dry yeast
½ teaspoon white sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup semolina flour
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter
¾ cup honey
1 teaspoon orange-flower water, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place the water, yeast, and sugar in a blender, and let stand without blending for 5 minutes, until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Add the milk, flour, semolina flour, eggs, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Leave the mixture in the blender to rest for about 30 minutes.
  • Heat a 5-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Blend the pancake mixture for about 10 seconds, to remix, and scoop 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into the heated skillet. Cook the beghrir until bubbles have formed and popped, and the top of the pancake is no longer shiny, about 3 minutes. Do not flip. Adjust the heat as necessary so that the bottoms of the pancakes are just starting to brown when the tops are dry. Blend the batter for 10 seconds or so after cooking 3 or 4 pancakes, to keep the batter fluffy.
  • To make the sauce, place the butter, honey, and flower-water flavoring in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on High setting until the butter is melted and the honey is hot, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir the sauce, and drizzle about 1 tablespoon over each warm pancake to serve.

These pancakes were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

Overall, these pancakes were pretty good. I would make them again, but I might adjust the recipe a bit to make them a little lighter and fluffier.

I had some trouble getting the pancakes to cook evenly. Some parts were burnt while others were still raw.

Not bad, but I think I prefer regular pancakes. These were a bit too dense for my taste.

The orange zest really shines through in these pancakes! I also added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg for extra flavor.

Loved the combination of semolina flour and all-purpose flour. It gave the pancakes a unique texture that was both soft and chewy.

Scrumptious! These pancakes were light, fluffy, and had a slightly crispy edge. The orange zest and vanilla extract added a delightful sweetness and flavor.
