Moroccan Baghrir

Moroccan semolina pancakes cooked on one side until their surface fills with holes. Serve them with a syrup of honey, butter, and orange blossom water.

Baghrir is recognized by its surface full of small holes, which form as it cooks on one side only. This version uses fine semolina, flour, baker’s yeast, and baking powder, and is served with a honey-and-butter syrup scented with orange blossom water.
