[Accidentally Vegan] Moroccan Crêpes/Pancakes: Baghrir


VEGAN MOROCCAN CRÊPES*

This makes a thicker, bready-ish, crêpe with many small holes. It is delish with a bit of jam or fruit sauce (maybe some pineapple + arrowroot powder + sugar, heated on the stove until thick?). The traditional recipe calls for butter + honey, so I vote for vegan margarine + agave nectar!

1 bowl semolina (wiki)
1/2 bowl flour
baking powder (varies by region and by the size of the bowl, I'd say a teaspoon is more than enough. However, baking powder isn't a biggie.)
spoonful of sugar
small spoonful of salt
2 bowls of hot water

Mix and leave in fridge overnight (you can probably make it right away with American baking powder, but here they have to wait).

Pour into circles onto a lightly greased frying-pan. Cook to perfection. Again, these are not traditional French crêpes, these are more like a pancake/crêpe hybrid. They are pretty great, and one of my host dads, Samir just taught me how to make them.

*Written in neither metric nor english form, so as to make it a universal recipe. Bowl is a consistent bowl -- probably about ... 2- cups? just experiment -- this is what cooking is all about!
