Ingredients

  • 3 eggs at room temperature
  • 3 tbsp milk see notes
  • 3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup molasses see notes
Topping:
  • 2 tbsp shredded coconut or desiccated coconut
  • 2 tbsp Slivered Pistachios
  • edible rosebuds optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix the eggs and milk in a bowl until very well combined.
  2. Gradually add the flour and mix well to combine and there are no lumps left.
  3. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, pour the batter in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes until set on top and not runny anymore. 
  4. Using a spatula, cut the crepe into triangles or squares. 
  5. Pour the molasses all over the crepe, turn the heat to low and let it cook for another 4-5 minutes. Flip the khagineh pieces a few times for them to be coated with the molasses on both sides.
  6. Transfer the to a serving plate and drizzle some more molasses on top if needed. Top with shredded coconut, slivered pistachios and edible rose petals.

Notes

  • I usually use whole milk for this recipe but you can use any kind of milk including plant based if desired. 
  • You can use other sweeteners such as date syrup, grape molasses or saffron syrup if preferred. 
  • If cooking for a crowd, double or triple all the ingredients and use a larger pan. 
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat over medium heat and top with more sweetener if needed.
