About Baghrir

Salima Benkhalti shares baghrir as a Moroccan childhood favourite learned from her aunt Aicha. The family preparation combines semolina and all-purpose flour in a yeasted pancake batter.

Semolina supplies the subtle nutty flavour described by the author. Sugar and salt season the base, with optional honey and butter adding richness across the finished pancakes.

The pancakes are light and spongy, with many small holes across their one-sided surface. They are kept warm for serving, with Moroccan coffee as the selected optional companion.
