Ingredients
- 2 c semolina flour or cream of wheat, Note 1
- ⅓ c all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon organic cane sugar
- 3 ⅓ c warm water about 95 F
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine flours and yeast
- In a large bowl combine semolina flour, all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, salt and sugar. Mix well. Whisk in warm water and vanilla and using an immersion blender or stand blend process the batter on low for 2-3 minutes.
Add the baking powder
- Add baking powder and blend for 30 more seconds. If the batter is too dense, you can add 1 tablespoon of water until the batter is the consistency of a heavy cream.
Let the batter rest
- Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for 40 minutes.
Fry the pancakes
- Place a medium or small pan on a medium heat. Brush the pan with ½ tablespoon of coconut oil. Whisk the batter once again and pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the center of a pan. You’ll see lots of tiny bubbles appear on the pancake. Fry until the top of the pancake in no longer sticky.
- Fry Baghrir only on one side, don’t flip it. If the top of the pancake is set and the batter is not sticky, the pancake is ready. Transfer Baghrir to a big plate and continue cooking the remainder of the batter.
Notes
- Note 1
- Originally Baghrir is made with Farina or Cream of Wheat Hot Cereal. Farina has a milder flavor than Semolina. If you want to try these yeast pancakes with Farina, you can buy it in any grocery store or on Amazon.
- Storage. To store leftover Baghrir, allow the pancakes to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating. When reheating, place the pancakes in a microwave-safe dish, cover with a damp paper towel, and heat in 15-second increments until heated through. Alternatively, they can be reheated in a toaster or toaster oven.
- Freezing. Freezing Baghrir is not recommended due to their delicate texture, as they may become soggy upon thawing. And so it's best to enjoy them fresh or store them in the refrigerator for a short period of time.
