Baghrir with honey and melted butter

The Moroccan thousand-hole crepe, soft and spongy, drizzled with a warm mixture of honey and melted butter.

Ingredients

  • 250 g Fine semolina
  • 60 g Wheat flour
  • 1 tsp Active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 600 ml Warm water
  • 4 tbsp Honey
  • 60 g Butter

Method

  1. Blend the semolina, flour, active dry yeast, baking powder, salt, sugar, and warm water until you obtain a smooth and liquid batter like a thin crepe batter.
  2. Cover and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes in a warm place, until bubbles appear on the surface.
  3. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, without any fat.
  4. Pour in a ladleful of batter and let cook without flipping: hundreds of small holes will form and the surface will dry.
  5. Remove the baghrir when the top is no longer shiny, then repeat with the rest of the batter, stacking the crepes.
  6. Gently melt the butter with the honey until you obtain a warm and homogenous syrup.
  7. Drizzle the baghrir with the honey and butter mixture just before serving.
