Ingredients

  • 2 cups fine semolina flour
  • 2 cups water (or more, depending on semolina flour)
  • 1 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange blossom water (optional)
For the sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or ghee)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon orange blossom water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix 1 cup (250 ml) of lukewarm water with the sugar and yeast and let froth for a few minutes.
  2. In a blender, mix 1 cup (250 ml) water, semolina, orange blossom water (optional) and salt. Then, add the yeast mixture and blend really well. Add more water if necessary to obtain a somewhat liquid batter, similar to a crepe's batter.
  3. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  4. Heat a nonstick pan on medium to high heat and pour some of the mixture in the center of the pan. Tiny holes should form really quickly. Cook on one side for about 2 minutes.
Sauce
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the honey and orange blossom water.
  2. Pour over your baghrir once ready to serve.
